Softball Denied at Trinity International  (4/24/07)
In their final regular season conference games the Trolls were close, but just short of defeating Trinity International University (IL). Both games were one-run defeats, losing 3-4 in game one and 4-5 in the second game. The Trolls (9-26) finished their CCAC schedule with a 5-13 record. 

In game one of the double header the Trolls took a 3-1 lead after the 4th inning. Trinity International opened the 6th inning with a single and then a home run to tie the game. 

The Trolls went three up and three down in the 7th. With two outs in the bottom of the inning TIU got a runner on base and then advanced her around the bases to score for the win. 

In the second game the Trolls scored two runs in the 3rd inning, but trailed 2-5 after the 4th. They were given new hope when Megan Schultz started off the 6th inning with a double. Sarah Lerner immediately followed by a two-run homer to bring the team to within one run. They got two more runners on base that inning, but did not score them. 

They held TIU in the bottom of the 6th, but then failed to score in the 7th to keep the game alive. 

For the day the Trolls had a total of nine hits. Laura Arendsen, Sarah Lerner, and Megan Schultz each had two. Lerner and Michelle Rusticus each tallied two RBIs. 

The team will play at Wheaton College on Saturday, April 28, in a double-header at 11:00 am.
