The T/M/B girls' softball team swept both ends of a double header from ACGC at Grove City last Friday 7-1 and 7-1.

Megan Anderson gave up three hits, while striking out 5 and walking 5 to pick up the win in the first game. Megan also got the win in the second game, scattering 4 hits walking 4 and striking out 3. She is now 4-0 for the season with a 0.75 ERA.

"I was very pleased with our pitching and our defense in game one," said Coach Dave Sogge. "We pitched and caught the ball well. However we left 12 runners on base. We just couldn't seem to come up with the big hit at the right time."

Stacy LaVoy and Alissa Lightfoot each had two hits and two RBI to lead the Panther offense, the big blow being a home run by LaVoy in the sixth inning.

In the second game both pitchers were very effective until the Panthers erupted for 5 runs in the seventh inning. Steph Kaup hit the big blow for the Panthers with a home run with 2 runners on base. Alissa Kirk and Lynn Brockway each had two hits for T/M/B.

"We pitched it well, caught it well, and we hit it well," said Sogge. "We can't ask for more. Their pitcher Jamie Tanner threw a no-hitter at YME last week, so we have to be pleased with eight hits off her. We are also pleased that we hit some shots, not bleeders, shots. Some of the bats we've expected to be big for us are starting to come around. I think it is going to be a real fun spring."

The Panther's record is now 4-0 and 2-0 in the 212 Conference. Their next action is Tuesday, April 19 in Tracy against MACCRAY.
