April 20, 2008 Lacey, WA – The Montana State Billings bats came alive in game one as beat the Saints 11-0 but were held in check through most of game two until they plated four runs in the eighth to earn the victory Sunday at the SMU Softball Field. The Yellowjackets took the lead early on a two-run homerun by Leslie Davis in the top of the first. They would tack on four in the fourth and break it open with five more in the fifth. Rebekah Tsatsa held the Saints to just three hits in the game, two of which came in the bottom of the fifth. Marlaina Irwin had two hits while Alicia Fuchs accounted for the only other one. Game two was a pitcher’s duel as Fuchs threw six scoreless innings for the Saints while Lisa Moore didn’t allow a run through seven innings. Brandi Klemm threw a scoreless seventh but in the top of the eighth with two out Davis doubled and came around to score on a single by Terina Stacks. Two batters later with runners on the corners, Stephanie Gosselin sent one over the centerfield wall to give the Yellowjackets the 4-0 advantage. Tsatsa came in to close out the game and SMU couldn’t put anything together in the bottom half of the inning taking the loss. The Saints had four hits in the game, one each from Lisa Holombo, Holly Morris, Kristi Sigafoos and Fuchs. Saint Martin’s travels to Central Washington for a doubleheader against the Wildcats on Thursday, April 24th.
