Softball Comes Up Short on Day 3 of Spring Break Trip

    Myrtle Beach, SC - The MLC softball team entered day 3 of the South Carolina trip with a pair of wins over Northern Vermont and Albion the previous day. On Sunday, The Knights would fall to Penn State - Altoona 9-1 and then lost a heartbreaker to Blackburn College 7-6.

    The Knights would remain in the game through 4 innings, as they were only down 2-1 at that point of the game. The Nittany Lions then scored 4 runs in the top of the fifth inning from a couple of RBI singles and doubles. From there Penn State-Altoona cruised to their 9-1 victory over the Knights.

    MLC would only get 2 hits in the game, but one of them came from SS Lisa Hoffer who homered in the fourth inning for her first long ball of the season. The other hit came from Catcher Olivia Siehr.

The Knights were also very aggressive on the bases, swiping seven. Jordyn Heckendorf and Hannah Ott each ahd two stolen bases on the day.
