SAE Softball Team Shows Improvement in Latest Outing

The SAE softball team took several steps in the right direction but couldn’t quite break through for its first win of the season, dropping a 9-7 decision to Marshall Township last Tuesday at Knob Field.

After struggling to find offensive production in its first game, SAE came out swinging against Marshall Township, posting four runs in the top of the first inning. Marshall Township answered quickly, evening the score in the bottom of the first.

The lead changed hands several times over the course of the game, and SAE had victory in its sights with a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the sixth. After a quiet couple of innings, Marshall jumped ahead with three runs in the sixth. SAE couldn’t answer in its final at-bats and dropped to 0-2 for the season.

SAE more than doubled its offensive production from the previous game, posting 13 hits. George Hoffman led the way, going 3 for 4 with three runs scored and an RBI. Coach Chris Joseph contributed two hits, two RBI, and a run scored.

Sam Barill pitched a complete game and struck out one.

SAE faces a team from American Eagle in its next game, June 15.
