The number of game the softball team lose is 47 games.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>The softball team played 149 games. </h3>

Total games played = 149 games

The team won 8 more than two times the number of games they lost.

Let

the number of games they lost = x

Therefore,

The number of game they lose can be calculated as follows:

8 + 2x + x = 149

8 + 3x = 149

3x = 149 - 8

3x = 141

x = 141 / 3

x = 47

Therefore, the team lost 47 games.
