SOFTBALL
CONTINUES WINNNING WAYS (3/25/04)
The softball
team has not lost a game in their last 6 outings. They played at Dominican
University (IL) and picked up a 5-4 win in the first game and a 1-1 tie
in the second game. The second game ended after 6 innings due to darkness.
The Trolls are now 5-7-1 for the season.
Scoring came
late in the first game as the bats were slow to come around. The Trolls
managed only one hit in the first 4 innings while Dominican had 2. Things
changed in the 5th inning as a triple by Gail Landini followed by
a double by Amber Heaney gave the Trolls 2 runs. They started the
6th inning with 3 straight hits, a single by Erica Bruner, a double
by Stephanie Koedyker, and a triple by Michelle Cooke to
set them up for 3 runs that inning. The Trolls were leading 5-0 going into
the bottom of the 7th. With two outs and bases loaded Dominican got a triple
followed by a double to drive in 4 runs. The Trolls were able to control
the damage and retire the inning to take the win.
Dominican was
the first to strike in the second game as they picked up one run in the
2nd inning. The Trolls did not get a hit until the 5th inning and did not
score until the 6th inning. Michelle Wories opened the 6th with
a double to get on base. A sacrifice by Courtney Krasoczka moved
her around and then a connection by Amanda Wilkins brought the run
home. The Trolls held Dominican in the bottom of the inning. The game ended
in a tie as the game was called due to darkness.
