South Umpqua Lancers Softball 6-4 Henley

South Umpqua's softball team battled through a back-and-forth affair to defeat Henley 6-4 on the road Monday afternoon. The Lancers improved to 2-1 on the young season with their second consecutive victory in non-league play.

The contest proved closer than expected, with both teams trading runs throughout the game. South Umpqua managed to plate six runs while holding off a persistent Henley squad that kept the pressure on until the final out.
