The Worthington Trojans softball team lost a pair Monday at St. Peter, dropping 7-2 and 12-10 decisions.
In the opener, Haley Grimmius was 2-for-3 at the plate with two solo runs, and Olivia Hayenga and Hannah McNab had the other two hits. Grimmius allowed four earned runs over six innings; St. Peter took a 5-0 first-inning lead thanks in part to three Trojan errors.

Grimmius hit another solo home run in the nightcap, while Hayenga went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base.
