Saint Martin’s 13, Central Washington 0 – More from SMUSaints.com
On March 4th, the Saint Martin’s softball team lost a game to Central Washington 7-3. However, the Saints protested a home run in the bottom of the first inning that was originally called foul and then changed to fair after the umpires discussed the call at the request of the Wildcats’ coaches. The protest was upheld, the loss was struck from the Saints’ record and today the game resumed from just before the home run happened over a month ago.
And this time, Sam Munger got the out and proceeded to pitch a two hit, five inning mercy rule shutout and the Saints won easily, 13-0. Saint Martin’s had 17 hits in the game including six combined hits for Munger and Morgan Klemm that accounted for five of the Saints’ runs. Lacey McGladrey went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI.
The Saints have won three straight games to move to 28-15-1 overall and 18-10 in the GNAC.
