SOFTBALL: Scots Hang Eight on Comets in Five Inning MIAA Win

April 10, 2008

Alma, Mi.- The Alma College Softball Team (18-6, 8-1) did not allow the bad weather to damper their play as their bats still found their groove and their defense remained strong in an 8-0 mercy over conference foe Olivet College (6-15, 1-4).

Freshman Tara Leddy (Saginaw/Swan Valley) was nothing short of dominating in the five inning complete game win that saw her allow only two hits while striking out seven on her way to improving to 9-4 on the season.

Houston Verbeck (Flint/Kearsley) and Missy Morcom (Chelsea) were both able to muscle out homeruns through the pouring rain as they went two for two and one for one respectively with five runs scored and three RBI's between the two outfielders.

The second game of the double header was postponed. Check back for rescheduling information.
