NEWTON — The Marshalltown High School softball squad collected just one hit in a 6-1 loss at Newton on Tuesday night.

The Bobcats (0-3) fell behind 4-0 after two innings and trailed 6-0 before getting on the scoreboard with their lone run in the top of the sixth. Autumn Finch doubled and pinch-runner Jordyn Daggett scored for MHS.

Marshalltown now takes a week off before hitting the road again next Tuesday for a 5 p.m. twinbill at Ames.
