May 16, 2008

 

SALEM, Va. --- Muskingum College was lead to a 1-0 victory over #2 Lynchburg College by pitcher Amy Mattin who pitched a complete game shutout from the circle and allowed just four hits on the night. 

 

"I had confidence in my defense and offense at all times," said Mattin.  "I know my defense has my back and I know there were some close moments but we managed to work our way out of them."

 

The only score of the night came in the top of the second inning when Muskingum's Jessica Bosway slapped a single to second base and collected an RBI by driving teammate, Mary Margaret Boda, home. 

 

Lynchburg was led offensively by Tara Campbell who went 2-for-3 from the plate.  The Hornets also received a hit from Brittany Allsop.  Katie Bruce pitched seven innings and allowed three hits and one run.

 

"I think the team was upset that the they lost on such a small hit, but we were right there in the game," said Lynchburg Head Coach, Dawn Simmons.  "I think we proved that we deserve to be here and that they have earned everything that they’ve gotten and hopefully it will go better tomorrow."

 

The Musikes (41-10) will return to play on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. against #3 UW-Eau Claire.  The Hornets will take on #6 Ithaca on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
