Softball breaks out in victory over USAO
Friday, March 12, 2010
After averaging fewer than three runs per game through the first eight games of the season, the Culver-Stockton College softball team busted out offensively in an 11-3 mercy rule victory over the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in the first game of the David Fillmore Memorial Tournament at Evangel University Friday afternoon in Springfield, Mo.
The Wildcats trailed Lyon College (Ark.) 2-1 in their second game on Friday before it was stopped due to rain, rendering it a no contest.
Culver-Stockton's Danielle Kaltmayer got the Wildcats off on the right foot with a two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning, her third of the season.
The Wildcats added two runs each in the second and third innings, and then plated five runs in the fourth inning behind two-run singles by Kelly Gronewold and Rachel Larson.
Katelin Goddard led the offense with two hits and a RBI, while Katie Thomas scattered eight hits over five innings to record her second victory of the season.
Culver-Stockton will attempt to get two games in on Saturday to finish the tournament, though the weather has forced organizers to re-work the schedule for a second time. Play is scheduled to begin at noon on Saturday at Meador Park.
