Fishers lost a 10-6 game at Castle on Saturday.
The Tigers got on the board in the top of the first inning when Olivia Latimer hit a home run. The Knights answered with two runs in the bottom of the first, but Fishers yanked the lead right back with three runs in the second inning. Mara Lorkowski scored on a passed ball, then Jade Frye blasted a two-run single to get Leyna Krikorian and Courtney James.
Castle tied the game in the bottom of the second and took a 5-4 lead in the third, then a two-run homer gave the Knights a 7-4 lead in the fourth. Fishers added a fourth-inning run when Bernhardt singled in Latimer, then Latimer scored again in the sixth when Lorkowski reached on error.
Latimer was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate, including two doubles, and scored three runs. Frye and Kaylee Kardash both had two hits. Hannah Mays pitched the complete game, tossing five strikeouts.
Fishers was to play Gibson Southern in a second game, but it was canceled due to rain in the second inning.
The Tigers are 3-1 and are next in action at Noblesville on Tuesday, April 9 to begin Hoosier Crossroads Conference play.
