AC Softball routs MSOE in sweep, 14-2 and 22-0
Demaree and Batway go long, Vangoss nearly perfect in game two

ORLANDO, Fla.—The Adrian College softball team has started the 2007 season with a four-game winning streak after thumping the Milwaukee School of Engineering by scores of 14-2 and 22-0 in a double-header at the Wide World of Sports in Disney World.

In game one, the Bulldogs were led offensively by Jen Demaree who hit a home run and ended with two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base. Jenna Kloster was 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and a run. The Bulldogs stole 11 bases as a team, with Emily McLane swiping a team-high three.

Starter Lindsay Mandeville went three innings, allowing two hits and had three K’s. Heather Tanner pitched two innings in relief, striking out four and allowing no hits.

Game one was called after the fifth inning due to the mercy rule.

Just when MSOE thought it could not get any worse, game two saw AC go on an even bigger run.

The Bulldogs reeled off 22 runs with Carmen Batway living up to her name with a home run, four RBI and two runs in a 2-for-2 performance at the plate. Carly Toth added a triple, an RBI and two runs, going 2-for-4. Adrian put up 17 hits and committed no errors in the field in game two.

Andrea Vangoss registered a complete game shut out and allowed just one base runner on a fifth-inning lead-off double. The junior transfer is yet to allow a run after her first two career appearances.

Adrian, 4-0, will face the Community College of Baltimore County-Dundalk in a double header tomorrow with the first pitch of game one scheduled for 9 a.m. in Orlando.
