Cardinals Take Two More

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The SVSU softball team tallied two more victories on its spring trip in Fort Myers, Fla. on Tuesday with wins over Siena Heights University, 3-2, and Adrian 5-3.
     In game one, Christina Fuchiarelli (Washington/Harper Woods Regina) pitched a five-hitter, allowing just two walks while striking-out six. Fuchiarelli retired 14 consecutive batters down the stretch to help seal the victory. Angie Sting (Unionville/Sebewaing) went 1 for 3 at the plate, driving in two runs for SVSU.
     In the nightcap, the Lady Cards needed a seventh-inning, three-run rally to defeat Adrian College 5-3. Courtney Pintek (Flushing), despite giving-up 11 hits, got tough when she had to and was able to pick-up the victory for SVSU. Big RBI-hits in the seventh came from Becky Bourcier (Montrose) and Jodi Dempsey (Lake Orion). Whitney Babcock (Bay City/All Saints) came off-the-bench to tally a key hit in the seventh as well.
     The wins move the Cardinals' record to 5-1-1 on the season as they take a day off before preparing to battle GLIAC nemesis Mercyhurst on Thursday.
