CHADRON, Neb. -- February 29, 2020 -- Chadron State College's second day of home softball produced a result nearly identical to the first. The Regis University Rangers got up on the Eagles 4-1 in the first game, before CSC swung back with a 3-2 win.
On Friday the scores were 4-3 Regis and 3-1 Chadron State.
The pitchers were even similar for the corresponding games, on both days.
DeAnna Barrera tossed a complete game in the first for the Eagles on Saturday in the loss, falling to 3-7 on the season. Later
Tia Kohl threw a complete game, allowing only four base hits while striking out six batters, in the win. At the same time, Regis' Kara Rodeheaver got the win on Saturday while Abby Covington was technically awarded the start in the loss, and Armitage entered in relief, albeit before a pitch was thrown.
In game one, the Eagles managed just three base hits, while the Rangers hit safely seven times. However RU benefited from four CSC fielding errors. Regis got out to a 4-0 lead before an error by its second baseman in the sixth brought in the final run of the game for Chadron State.
In the afternoon contest, Kohl twirled a no-hitter through three frames before the Regis batters laced two through the right side in the fourth. That cut the CSC lead to 3-1, and a homer by Armitage in the top of the seventh gave the game its final score.
Over four games,
Mackenzi Kroll finished on top in the batter's box for the Eagles with a 4-for-10 effort including one double, and she was hit-by-pitch once as well.
CSC is now 7-12 overall (2-6 RMAC) while Regis is 8-8 (5-2 RMAC).
