Softball: Saints nearly pull off upset bid against Humboldt State

March 14, 2006

Lacey, WA --- Nancy Harbeson blasted a three run home run in the top of the third inning, bringing the Lumberjacks back from an early 2-0 deficit to beat Saint Martin’s 3-2 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference softball action Tuesday.

The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was suspended in the top of the fourth inning due to rain. The game will conclude tomorrow with Humboldt leading 3-0.

With one out in the bottom of the first inning, the Saints’ Alicia Fuchs (So., Randle, WA) was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a single by Marlaina Irwin (So., Centralia, WA) and scored on an error by HSU’s shortstop. Holly Morris (Fr., Richland, WA) followed with a single, scoring Irwin for a 2-0 lead.

The Lumberjacks answered in the third inning as Carolyn Cameron singled, Natalie Galletly walked and Harbeson knocked a three-run home run.

Harbeson’s hit was one of just four for Humboldt, while the Saints tallied six hits. Irwin went 2-for-3 at the plate for the Saints.
