The Albert Lea Tigers softball team was swept in its second doubleheader in two days Friday 12-0 and 13-2 to the Rochester Century Panthers.

Claire Buendorf had three of the Tigers’ five total hits over the two games and is now 7-for-11 with six RBIs over her last four games.

“She’s getting more comfortable,” Tigers coach Dan Harms said, of Buendorf. “We’re now seeing in games what we saw from her last year in practice. She’s making the most of it right now.”
