KISSIMMEE,
Fla. - Fielding miscues and offensive struggles led to two shutout losses
for the Caldwell College softball team at the Rebel Spring Games on Sunday
at the Osceola County Softball Complex. The defeats drop the Cougars, ranked
16th in the country, to 0-4 on the season.
In today's first game against ninth-ranked Lock Haven University, the
Cougars managed just one hit, a single by senior outfielder Katie Jackson
(Pennsville, NJ/Pennsville), pictured, in the fourth inning as the Cougars
fell 6-0. Lock Haven (12-3) scored five runs in the first inning on five
hits, including a two-run homer from Ilia Lopez, then rode the arm of
pitcher Kristin Erb, who struck out five and walked none to earn the
shutout. Senior Jessica Saunders (Glen Burnie, MD/Archbishop
Spaulding) took the loss, allowing five hits and five unearned runs in five
innings. Freshman pitcher Ceci Goforth (Houston, TX/St. Agnes
Academy) made her collegiate debut, giving up four hits and one run in two
inning of relief.
Against Northwest Missouri State (10-6), Jackson again had the lone hit as
Bearcats pitcher Lauren Lakebrink blanked the Cougars over seven shutout
innings. Caldwell was hampered by four errors, including a key miscue in a
five-run sixth inning that broke open a scoreless game. Junior pitcher
Anna Dahl (Lindenwold, NJ/Camden Catholic) allowed five hits and three
unearned runs in 5 1/3 innings of work for the Cougars.
Caldwell plays Southern New Hampshire at 2:20 p.m. and Eckerd College at
6:00 p.m. at the Rebel Games on Monday, Mar. 20.
