ELLENDALE &8212; The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva softball team fell again Tuesday with a 15-1 loss to Mankato Loyola in Ellendale.

The Panthers

have played all their home games in Ellendale due to the wet field conditions in New Richland.

NRHEG managed just two hits as a team against the Crusaders, a single by Jenna Brekke and a triple by Chelsey Waltz.

&8220;It&8217;s been tough not being able to practice or play on our own field,&8221; said Panthers head coach Grant Berg.

&8220;It&8217;s been a tough spring on just about everyone.&8221;
