March 7, 2008 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s earned a split with Simon Fraser University taking game one 6-2 but falling in the nightcap 7-4 in non-conference action Friday at the SMU Softball Field. The Saints got on the board early in the first game taking a 1-0 lead in the second. They broke the game open in the fifth. After an RBI single by Danni Ballard and a two-run double by Kristi Sigafoos SMU went for the squeeze play as Kirstin Davidson bunted to score Holly Morris from third. Their final run of the inning would come on a sacrifice fly by Lisa Holombo. Simon Fraser got their only two runs in the top of the seventh on a homerun by Jessie Harris. Jamie Herrick threw a complete game with four walks and two strikeouts. The Clan plated two in the top of the first but SMU quickly answered back with three of their own in the bottom of the inning on a homer by Morris, her sixth of the season. Both teams would add one more in the fourth with Saint Martin’s still holding on to a one run lead. Saint Martin’s got two quick outs in the top of the seventh but Simon Fraser sandwiched two doubles around an SMU error then topped it of with a homerun to take the 7-4 advantage. Brandi Klemm was tagged with the loss after throwing an eight hit complete game with five strikeouts. The Saints are back to conference action tomorrow as they take on Central Washington in a doubleheader starting at 12pm at the SMU Softball Field.
