Cardinals Fall to Wayne State
April 11, 2001

DETROIT, MI –The Saginaw Valley State University softball team played a double header against Wayne State University on Wednesday afternoon. SVSU was defeated in both games by the scores of 7-3 and 5-4. Junior right-hander Carrie Shay (Flint/Burton Bendle) began the first game, but was replaced by Freshman Christina Fuciarelli (Washington/Harper Woods Regina) after giving up five runs in the first inning. The Cardinals three runs all came in the first inning. One of those runs was off a double from junior Whitney Babcock (Bay City/All Saints). Sophomore Coutney Pintek (Flushing) drops to a 6-4 record despite pitching a close second game. The Cardinals moved the ball well, but were unable to counter the three runs the Warriors scored in the fourth inning. SVSU fell to 8-16 overall and 2-8 in the GLIAC. The Cardinals look to turn their luck around on Friday the 13th, when they travel to Northwood University for a double header. Game time is scheduled for 3:30 pm.
