Despite a solid pitching performance the TMP-Marian Monarchs softball team could not overcome a rough day in the field and drop the regional semifinal with Larned 6-2 Thursday afternoon in Larned.

TMP starter Bailey Lacy did not allow a hit until the fifth inning and struck out 16 in seven inning but suffered the tough luck loss as Larned scored four unearned runs on three errors and two passed balls in the sixth inning to go up 6-1.

Laurel Hageman led off the fourth inning with a walk and courtesy runner Ciara Seib scored on a Heidi Gottschalk groundout, putting the Monarchs up 1-0.

Larned tied the game at 1 in the fifth and then added five more in the sixth to go up 6-1.

Seib scored for a second time as a courtesy runner for Hageman in the sixth to cut the Indians lead to 6-2 but the Monarchs were retired in order in the bottom of the seventh.

Lacy allowed six runs, two earned, struck out 16 and walked two in the loss.

Lacy finished 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and Heidi Gottschalk was 1-for-3 with an RBI for the Monarchs.

The Monarchs finish the season 10-11.
