South Medford Panthers Softball 2-3 Sheldon

A tight pitching battle ended in heartbreak for South Medford on Monday afternoon, as the Panthers dropped a 3-2 softball decision to visiting Sheldon at home. The low-scoring affair showcased strong defensive play from both sides, with neither team able to mount sustained offensive pressure throughout the contest.

The Panthers managed just enough offense to keep pace early, but Sheldon's ability to manufacture one additional run proved to be the difference in this league matchup. South Medford's pitching staff kept the game within reach, limiting the Lions' scoring opportunities in crucial moments.
