Last Time Out

• Game 1 vs Converse: Ally Moore had herself a game in Game 1, driving in both runs of the ballgame for the Cobras. She opened up the scoring with an RBI single in the second, then tied it at 2-2 with another RBI single in the sixth. Unfortunately, Converse scored in the bottom of the sixth and held on to walk away with that victory.
• Game 2 vs Converse: It was nonstop runs for the Cobras in Game 2, taking an early 2-0 lead and never looking back. The Cobras totaled 16 runs in a dominant outing against Converse, defeating the Valkyries by a final score of 16-1.
• Game 1 vs Belmont Abbey: It was a defensive battle to start, with no runs scored in the first four innings of play by either side. After some back-and-forth, it was the Cobras down 3-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh. That inning started well for Coker, with two back-to-back singles to put on two runners with no outs. The Cobras were unfortunately only able to score one in the 3-1 Game 1 loss.
• Game 2 vs Belmont Abbey: The second game started out much like the first, as there were no runs scored by either side in the first two innings. This was a back-and-forth contest, to say the least. The Cobras had a 1-0 lead, then Belmont Abbey took it at 2-1. The Cobras took it back at 3-2, but shortly after, the Crusaders retook their lead at 4-3. The Cobras surged back to make it 5-4, but it was Belmont Abbey who got the last word in the 6-5 win.
