In the bottom of the seventh, it looked like the Jamestown High School softball team was going to win its 11th game of the year.
But looks can be deceiving.
With two down, Minot's Sydnee Bartsch doubled, driving home Tayler Falcon to force an eighth inning in game No. 1 of the conference doubleheader.
Minot won both games, defeating the Jays 3-2, 9-0 to drop Jamestown's conference record to 6-3-1. Overall, the Blue Jays are 10-5-1.
The Blue Jay seniors produced four of the team's six hits in game No. 1. Addison Graves was 2-for-4 while Torrie Mack and Makenna Nold both ended the game with one hit. Jordan Mikkelson and Maddie Hoff were the final two team members to put a hit on the books.
Nold allowed three runs on six hits and seven walks. She struck out 14 in her 7.2 innings pitched. Maddie Hoff threw the next game and recorded one of the Jays' two hits in the second game.
The Jays' next shot at a win is slated to come on Tuesday against Bismarck Legacy. The doubleheader between the Sabers and Blue Jays starts at 4:30 p.m. at Jamestown's Trapper Field.
