- Trinity's softball team opened up bracket play at the NFCA Leadoff
Classic with a 5-2 loss to Chapman University on Saturday afternoon.
Trinity (7-5) started the scoring with two runs in
the second inning on a home run by Erin Fodness. It was the first
career homer for Fodness.
Chapman answered those runs with four runs in the
third inning, then added the final score in the fifth.
Erin Mulvey (5-3) took the loss after allowing
four runs in three innings, striking out three batters. Jillian
Degerness came on in relief, giving up just one run on two hits over the
final three innings. The appearance by Degerness was the 61st of
her career, setting the new record for games pitched for a Tiger
softball player.
Christina Carni finished 2-3 with a run scored,
while Fodness was 1-3 with the home run in the second. Jamie
Williams and Kristin Yurasits were both 1-3 in the game.
The Tigers will play Wheaton (MA) College tomorrow
to start things off in the Consolation portion of the Gold Bracket. |
