Softball splits a pair of one run games on opening day
Clermont, FL- The MCLA Softball program earned a hard fought 1-0 win over UMass Boston in the season opener, but they dropped the nightcap to Clarkson by a score of 7-6 at the NTC spring games. MCLA is 1-1 on the season.
In game one, neither team could muster much offense. In the eighth inning, MCLA freshman Katelyn Berghela would scamper home on a wild pitch for a 1-0 lead. MCLA starting pitcher Rachel Quackenbush would set down the Beacons in order to preserve the victory and the shutout.
In game two, MCLA was out in front 4-1 through three innings before Clarkson scored six times in the fourth. The Trailblazers would rally in the 5th and score a pair of runs, however they squandered chances to tie it up in the 5th and 6th innings.
Katelyn Henault started on the mound and absorbed the loss.
