'How to prevent tablesorter static rows from being filtered?

Given this code, tablesorter will remove my static row from view when the user filters and it meets the criteria for the filter:

$('.reportTableData').tablesorter({sortList: [[0, 0]],
        widgets: ['filter', 'stickyHeaders', 'staticRow'],
        widgetOptions: { stickyHeaders_attachTo: $('.wrapper'),
    }
}

I have a single static row that appears at the top of the table. However, I want it to stay there even when the user filters via the widget. I've tried childRows and spent an extended time working with filter_functions: but I believe the static row was never appearing in the filtered list.
