SOFTBALL LOSES TWO TO NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE    (4/26/04)

In non-conference play the softball team finds North Central College to hard to overcome. The Trolls lost both of the games, 0-5, 1-4. The Trolls had 10 hits for the day, but could not get the runners across the plate. With the losses they are now 14-27-1 for the season.

The first game produced 7 hits, coming from 6 different players, and situations with runners in scoring positions. The Trolls did not capitalize on those opportunities and thus were shut out for the game. North Central used their 7 hits, along with some TCC fielding errors, to score once in the 2nd, twice in the 3rd, and twice in the 6th. 

In the second game the Trolls were not as prolific with the bats as they only had 3 hits. Trailing  4-0 the Trolls did get on the board in the 6th inning. Amanda Wilkins and Courtney Krasoczka each singled to get on base. Jill Olson's sacrifice advanced them to scoring position. A ground ball to the short stop by Michelle Cooke was enough for a RBI as Wilkins crossed the plate.

The team is next in action on Wednesday at home against Elmhurst College in a double header at 3:00 pm.
