March 14, 2006 SYCAMORES SPLIT AT MARSHALL HUNTINGTON, W.V. – Indiana State softball’s Spring Break trip continued today (March 14) as the Sycamores split a doubleheader at Marshall. The Sycamores won the first game of the day by a 2-0 count before dropping the nightcap 9-1. ISU is 8-8 on the season, while Marshall is now 13-12. ISU sophomore pitcher Darcy Wood tossed a two-hit shutout in capturing the victory. She struck out nine members of the Thundering Herd during seven innings of work. Five different Sycamores posted hits in the contest, with Katie Armour and Jessica McGivney driving in the ISU runs. The game was scoreless until the top of the sixth when the Sycamores plated both of their runs. Wood made the lead stand by allowing nothing in the sixth and seventh for ISU’s eighth victory of the season, 2-0. She improved to 5-4 on the season with the victory. ISU’s starter in the second game was freshman Katie Armour. She allowed a pair of runs in the game’s fourth inning, after a scoreless first three innings. Armour stayed in the contest as a designated player to drive in the lone ISU run during the top of the seventh inning. Marshall used four runs in the fourth, three in the fifth and two in the sixth to earn the 9-1 victory. The loss dropped Armour’s season record to 1-2. Indiana State returns to action tomorrow at 4:00 p.m (EST) when they finish the current roadswing with a single-game at Louisville. |
