The Parkland Softball team had a rough day on defense, while the Lincoln Land pitchers did a great job in the circle, as the Loggers swept the Cobras 9-1 and 6-2. Parkland ends the regular season with a record of (23-30 13-17) while the Loggers now stand (30-18 22-8). Â Depending on the results of tomorrow's Heartland-John Wood doubleheader, the Cobras and Loggers will likely meet again in the first round of the Region 24 Tournament on Thursday in Bloomington.
