LIVONIA, Mich.
-- The Madonna
softball team held on for a pair of one-run victories in a doubleheader sweep of
visiting Concordia Tuesday afternoon at Madonna University Field.
The Crusaders (18-9, 5-1 WHAC) needed nine innings and a walk off RBI single by
freshman
Brittney Scero
(Canton, Mich./Canton HS) to defeat Concordia (5-16, 0-6 WHAC) in
game two.
Madonna
hurler
Liz Ballinger
(St. Johns, Mich./St. Johns HS) surrendered a two-run homer to Terra
Russell in the first inning but allowed just three hits while working all nine
innings and striking out five.
After a
pair of runs in the first and second innings by the Crusaders, neither team
could muster a run until Scero’s game winning RBI single in the ninth which
plated
Tedi Johnston
(New Boston, Mich./
Huron HS).
In the opening game of the doubleheader,
Shannon Noder
(Lincoln Park, Mich./Lincoln Park HS) scattered nine hits, allowed
three runs and struck out three batters to earn her ninth win of the season.
Madonna held a 4-0 lead heading into the sixth inning before a two-RBI triple by
CUAA’s Ali Nowacki and an error, which allowed Nowacki to score, trimmed the
Crusaders lead to just one run (4-3).
However, in the seventh inning, Noder stranded a pair of Cardinal runners on
base as she retired the final out of the contest.
Scero,
Johnston, and
Heather Richardson
(Plymouth, Mich./Canton HS) all recorded two hits in the
doubleheader.
Madonna
will return to action on Thursday, April 12, in a doubleheader at Madonna
University Field against Northwood at 3:00 p.m. ET
