Softball improves to 1-2 in MAC play by beating Buffalo
The Central Michigan softball team rebounded from two Mid-American Conference losses to Kent State Friday with a 7-0 win Saturday against Buffalo in Buffalo, NY.
The Chippewas (14-13, 1-2 MAC) scored in every inning besides the first and sixth and junior Kara Dornbos held the Bulls to just three hits while pitching a complete game shutout. She improved her record to 7-6 on the season.
“She did a really good job in the circle,” head coach Margo Jonker said. “You have to give credit to Kara and (catcher) Cory (DeLamielleure) for doing a really good job keeping Buffalo’s hitters off-balance.”
The CMU offense pounded out 11 hits, four of them for extra-bases.
“They were disciplined at the plate today and displayed some power throughout the lineup,” Jonker said. “Different people came through with RBIs so it was nice to see that you can have different people produce offensively.”
Freshman CarolAnn Sexauer led the CMU offense with three hits including two doubles and a home run. She drove in three runs.
“Overall, she had a really good day both offensively and defensively,” Jonker said.
DeLamielleure also homered for CMU.
The Chippewas and Bulls play again tomorrow at 1 p.m.
