LADY SALUQIS SOFTBALL TEAM DEFEATS
MOTLOW STATE
The Southwest softball team opened the 2004 Fall Season over the weekend,
competing in the CSCC Fall Classic in Columbia, Tennessee. The Lady Saluqis
lone win was a 2-1 victory over Motlow State Community College, last year’s
Region VII runner-up. Southwest played a total of five games, losing to
Volunteer State Community College, Cumberland University, and John A. Logan
College, and Motlow State.
The Lady Saluqis opened the Classic on Friday afternoon against Volunteer
State, last year’s Western Division champion in the Tennessee Junior and
Community College Athletic Association. Southwest took a 1-0 lead when
Chrissy Odom singled to lead off the second inning, advanced to second on a
sacrifice bunt by Ginny Galloway, then later scored on an error. Vol State
went ahead 2-1 in the third and ended up winning the game by a final score
of 7-1.
In the second game on Friday, Southwest played Cumberland University and was
defeated by a score of 3-0. The Lady Saluqis had only two hits in the game,
one of which was a double by Erin Cook. On Saturday morning, Southwest was
defeated 10-1 by John A. Logan College (IL) before defeating Motlow State in
the second game of the day.
In the win over Motlow, the Lady Saluqis scored their only two runs of the
game in the first inning. Melissa Perry led off with a bunt single, followed
by a walk by Jessica Brinson, then both players scored. Perry scored the
game’s first run on a single by Tiffany Bright, then Brinson scored on a
ground ball by Chrissy Odom. Erica Brich pitched an outstanding game,
allowing only four hits and striking out three.
The Lady Saluqis were scheduled to play Bethel College in the third and
final game of the day, but played Motlow State again when Bethel failed to
show. Southwest fell behind 8-0, then scored seven runs in the bottom of the
fourth inning to make the final score 8-7.
Southwest returns to action on Thursday, September 16, when the Lady Saluqis
will scrimmage at Rhodes College at 3:30 p.m. |
