North Callaway went 1-2 in its first softball games of the season on Saturday at the Hallsville Tournament.
The Ladybirds lost 5-0 to Eldon in five innings, defeated Salisbury 14-1 in three innings and lost 5-3 to Hallsville in three and half innings in the fifth-place game. North Callaway took a 3-1 lead over Hallsville in the top of the third inning on a 2-RBI double by Kymorie Myers and a RBI single by Kendra Pennell, but Grace Kempf hit a three-RBI home run for Hallsville before the hour-and-15-minute time limit elapsed. Eldon's Giana Blankenship struck out nine and allowed one hit in the first game, and North Callaway had five players with at least one RBI against Salisbury, including Myers with three RBIs and Mady Gordon and Sophie Olsson with two each.
North Callaway plays at South Callaway at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
