Softball Loses Two to Robert Morris (4/9/07)
The softball team suffered two conference losses to Robert Morris College (IL), losing both games of the double-header by scores of 1-4 and 0-4. One inning in each game made the difference and determined the outcome. The Trolls are now 5-16 overall and 2-4 in the conference race. 

The first game was scoreless until the third inning when Robert Morris put together four hits and took advantage of one error to get four runs. They threatened again in the fifth inning, but the Trolls held three runners on base. 

It was not until the 7th inning that the Trolls got in the board. Jennifer Irvine hit a double to bring Laura Arendsen across the plate. 

In the second game neither team scored until the fifth inning when Robert Morris put one run on the board. The Trolls threatened in the sixth inning with runners on base, but did not score. 

The sixth inning proved to be costly for the Trolls as a three-run homer by the Eagles created a 4-0 gap. The Trolls were three up and three down in the seventh. 

The Trolls had only five hits for the day with Jennifer Irvine grabbing two of those. Katie Heaney and Katie Singer split the pitching duties in the first game with Heaney receiving the loss. Nichole Heyboer pitched the second game. 

The Trolls will host Olivet Nazarene University in a double-header on April 11 at 3:30 pm.
