ENID, Okla. – Brynne Stockman had three hits, including a home run, but the Hutchinson Community College softball team couldn't contain Northern Oklahoma College-Enid's offense and dropped its 2019 season opener on Tuesday.

Hutchinson had an early lead, but NOC-Enid scored 10 runs in its final three at-bats and defeated the Blue Dragons 11-4.

The second game was suspended in the four innings because of darkness with the Jets leading the Blue Dragons 13-12. No date has been selected for the resumption of Game 2.
