Two more losses last week have the PORTA-AC Central softball team in the midst of a five-game losing streak. The Lady Bluejays fell 5 to 2 at Auburn and 11 to 4 at home to Williamsville and are now 11-9 on the season.

Against the Trojans, PORTA-AC scored a run in the top of the first to take the lead but a three-run second inning by Auburn turned out to be the difference. The Bluejays added a run in the third, but Auburn tacked on insurance runs in the bottom of the third and in the sixth. The Trojans outhit the Jays 14 to 3 on the afternoon. Aubrey Vogel had two hits, including a triple, and scored both Bluejay runs. Gabbi Branson had the other hit while Karlie Hoke had an RBI and Bailey Dahmer walked twice.
