Hamilton Doubles in 2nd Inning

Hamilton3/6 Softball Drops Season Openers to Messiah.

The Fighting Squirrels opened up their season today against the Falcons of Messiah College.

Both teams got off to a strong start in the first inning, as no runs were scored and both teams handled things with ease. The top of the second had the Falcons score 7 runs on strong hitting and good base running.

The Squirrels would threaten in the bottom of the second with lead off double from Christie Hamilton and get two runners in scoring position with only one out. Corinn Eby of the Falcons would strike out the rest of the hitters and seal the inning scoreless.

MBC would struggle to get hits against the strong pitching and lost 0-13 in the first game.

The second game would show much of the same story in the first inning as both teams worked to figure out the pitchers, but Messiah would once again score runs in the second, earning a 6 run lead. With another 6 runs in the third inning the Falcons closed out the game 0-12 against the Squirrels.

The Squirrels are back in action against McDaniel tomorrow at 1pm. [Box1] [Box2]
