SOFTBALL SHUT OUT BY SAINT XAVIER UNIVERSITY   (4/21/04)

Because of the rain the softball team waited one extra day to play Saint Xavier University, only to find that it still was a gloomy day. The Trolls played well against this top CCAC team in the first game and lost only 1-0. The second game was a different story as the Trolls lost 0-18. The two losses brings the teams record to 13-21-1 overall and 8-6 in the conference. 

The only run of the first game was a solo homer in the first at bat for Saint Xavier. After that the Trolls did well defensively and held SXU to only 5 runs and not many scoring opportunities. Unfortunately the Trolls could not get the bats going and went without a hit in that game.

In the second game of the day the wheels fell off for the Trolls as they gave up 18 runs on 18 hits. Saint Xavier scored 6 runs in the 2nd inning, 6 in the 3rd inning, 5 in the 4th inning, and 1 in the 5th inning. The game ended after the 5th inning on the mercy rule. The Trolls managed only 3 hits for the game with Jill Olson grabbing 2 of those. 

The team will play on Thursday at home against the University of St. Francis at 3:00 pm.
