The Rambelle softball team started their season with a weekend on the road in San Antonio, and came home with a 1-2 record with two games canceled due to rain outs at the St. Mary's Tournament.
The girls lost 3-2 in game one, 8-7 in game two, and won game three 11-5.
The St. Mary's Tournament isn't a tournament where a trophy is presented, Athletic Communications Assistant Director Wes Bloomquist said.
Senior Claire Molina, the staff ace, earned both losses in games one and two with a 7.45 ERA over 9.2 innings pitched and gave up eight runs.
Sophomore Mary Kate McKay pitched 7.0 innings over two games and earned one win with a 3.86 ERA, giving up three runs.
The Belles' offense generated 20 runs with 16 of them earned (four were made due to opponent's errors) over three games.
The Belles have 28 hits with one double, and two home runs with a team batting average of .329.
Senior Elsamartina Apo is batting .714 with five hits and four RBIs and senior Deeshanalynn Tafiti is batting .500 with five hits, a double and a home run included with three RBIs.
Among the teams the Belles faced was Rollins University, which has the 11th nationally ranked softball team.
The Belles led through six innings by two, but Rollins rallied to earn three runs on two hits to win 3-2.
The Belles' home opener will be Saturday at 12:30 p.m. It will be a double header against Central Oklahoma.
