Taylor White leads the way at .545, followed by Leah Moore’s .522. Diana Moorman is hitting .500 and has a home run. Timely hitting is being provided by Moore and Megan Passwaiter, as each currently has ten RBI; and Moore has stolen 13 bases through these first nine games. Passwaiter is also leading the pitching staff. She currently has an ERA of .88 in 24 innings. Through 13 innings, Katie Basmagy has an ERA of 1.66 ERA, while Shannon Cruz has a 2.72 ERA in 18 innings. The team is fielding well, with an overall team fielding percentage of .915. Three more games are scheduled for today. The team opens its Ohio schedule against the JV team of Mount Union College, on Thursday, March 25 at 3:30 in Alliance.
March 15, 2010 Rain delayed the start of the Lady Lakers season in Cocoa Beach, Florida; but they won two of the three games that they played on their opening day. Shannon Cruz pitched seven innings and gave up four earned runs in a 12-5 victory over Dupage CC. Diana Moorman had four RBI on two singles and a triple, while Cruz knocked in three runs. In a second victory over Dupage, the Lakers were down by one until the fifth inning when Cruz, Cierra Marshall and Breanna Wilson hit three straight singles to knock in three runs. Sophomore Katie Basmagy got the win, giving up one earned run. The Lakers ran out of gas in their third game of the day, an 0-5 loss to the Community College of Morris County. The ladies only managed three hits with sophomore Taylor White getting two, and pitcher Megan Passwaiter getting another. Passwaiter pitched well, giving up only one earned run in the error filled contest. The Lakers hope to play ten more games before heading home at the end of the week.
