Bobcats lose opener then
bounce back to win
in extra innings at MCAC softball tourney
(PARKVILLE,
MO) Bellevue University pitcher Jenny Miller tossed
a five inning no-hitter leading the Bruins to a 10-0
win over the Bobcats in the opening round of the
MCAC softball tournament Thursday. The 'Cats bounced
back quickly, however, picking up a dramatic 4-2,
8-inning win over #1 seed Park University to stay
alive in the double-elimination tournament that
concludes Friday.
BU's Miller struck out eight of the sixteen Bobcat
batters she faced in a dominant performance while
her teammates backed her with a nine hit attack.
Nicole Goodrich (Eagle) started in the circle for
PSC and was tagged with the loss after working 2.1
innings. Lauren Fiori (Colorado Springs, CO) and
Jocelyn Anson (Brunswick) pitched in relief. The
victors used a five run second inning before they
added four more runs in the third frame for an early
9-0 lead.
Laura Kjar (Wood River) went the distance against
Park scattering seven hits directing the Bobcats to
the win in consolation play. The 'Cats scored a run
in the seventh inning to tie the game before adding
a pair of runs in the first extra frame to end it.
Jen Siedlik (Omaha) drove home both runs with a
single while McKayla Clark (Ashland) led a nine-hit
attack going 2-for-3 with a RBI. The loss eliminated
Park, the regular season MCAC Champion, from the
tournament. The Bobcats (25-21) play York College
(11-24) at 10:00 a.m. with the winner advancing to
play Bellevue at noon.
