April 24, 2007 Lacey, WA – On the day when Saint martin’s honored their seniors, the Saints fell just short of two wins over Seattle University losing game one 1-0 and game two 3-1 Tuesday afternoon at the SMU Softball Field. Game one was a low scoring, low hit pitcher’s dual between SMU’s Tana Lingl and SU’s Erin Martin. Lingl threw all seven innings surrendering just one run on five hits while striking out seven. Martin also threw a complete game and allowed just four hits while striking out 12. Both teams were held scoreless until the sixth when Seattle got their lone run. Cassi Sharp came in to pinch hit and sent one over the wall in right field. The Saints tried to make a comeback in the bottom of the seventh. They loaded the bases on three consecutive hits but two force outs and a strike out put an end to the rally. Marlaina Irwin, Kirstin Davidson, Danni Ballard and Kristi Sigafoos each accounted for one Saint hit. Seattle took the early lead in game two with one run in the second on an RBI single by Kelli Merek. They would add two more in the third on a two-run double by Brenda Stice. The Saints got one on the board in the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded Sonya Ramos hit an RBI single to score Davidson. The Redhawks then brought in Martin who got them out of the inning without any more damage. Ramos was 3-3 in the game while Davidson went 3-4, both had three singles. Ballard had two hits including a single and a double. The Saints next game will be this Saturday as they take on Western Oregon University in Monmouth, OR.
