March 28, 2008

Turlock, CA – Saint Martin’s split a pair of games at the Mizuno Tournament of Champions, losing to Hawaii Pacific 12-2 before beating Chaminade University 4-0.

Brandi Klemm threw a complete game shutout for Saint Martin’s in their win over Chaminade allowing just five hits while walking two and striking out five.

Kristi Sigafoos drove in two runs for the Saints on a two run double in the first. They added one run in the third and another in the fourth on a ground rule double from Klemm.

Kristine Kaneshiro, Krissy Bassett and Lisa Holombo accounted for SMU’s other hits with one apiece.

In their first game of the day, SMU was held to six hits as they were able to plate just two runs which they didn’t pick up until the bottom of the fifth. Doubles by Kirstin Davidson, Alicia Fuchs and Danni Ballard would put the Saints on the board.

Hawaii Pacific came out swinging putting up a four spot in the first inning on five hits. They would add five more in the second highlighted by a two run homer by Nicole Kalakau and a bases clearing triple from Nicole Riviera.

The Sea Warriors got their final runs of the game in the third as Krystal Plunkett sent one over the left field wall for three more.

Cassy South took the loss for the Saints while Courtney Kessell remained undefeated on the season for HPU.

Saint Martin’s will play two more games on Saturday against Dixie State and Grand Canyon University.
