RAIN CUTS SOFTBALL'S DAY SHORT
TACOMA, Wash. - In what was supposed to be a non-conference softball doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon at Logger softball field in Tacoma, Wash., the Puget Sound Loggers fell to the Saint Martin's Saints, 10-0, in the first game before a mixture of rain and hail ended game two in the second inning.
In the first game, the Saints (12-17) took the lead early on a three-run home run by shortstop Holly Morris in the top of the first inning. The Saints' Kristi Sigafoos went deep immediately following but it was determined that the home plate umpire called "no pitch" before the hit happened and the blast was nullified. Saint Martin's added two more runs in the top of the third and a five-run sixth inning game the Saints the six-inning victory, 10-0. Jamie Herrick got the win for Saint Martin's, nearly collecting the no-hitter before Valarie Barone (San Jose, Calif./Leigh) singled in the bottom of the sixth for the lone Puget Sound hit of the game. Bijou Felder (Berkeley, Calif./St. Mary's) took the loss for Puget Sound, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits with two strikeouts in six innings thrown.
In the second inning, the Loggers and Saints found themselves deadlocked at no score in the bottom of the second when the sky opened up, delivering rain and hail to the field. Following a brief rain delay, the coaching staffs and umpires decided to call the game. The contest is not expected to be made up.
