The Chesterton girls softball team managed just one hit and dropped a 4-0 Duneland Athletic Conference decision at Crown Point on Wednesday.

“It is frustrating that our bats are all or nothing from game to game,” Chesterton coach LouAnn Hopson said.

Crown Point scored all four of their runs in the second innings with the use of four singles and a double, all with two outs, against Chesterton starter Megan Tymorek.
