Cumberland Softball has 1 and 1 Week; Record Stands at 5 and 10 Overall
The Cumberland Softball Team battled the weather last week and when the skies cleared, had split a pair of HON contest. The team’s record stands at 5 and 10 overall, as they head into a busy schedule this week.
The loss came on Tuesday, April 30, when the ladies dropped a 12-7 decision to the league leading Hayward Hurricanes. Morgan Monchilovich took the pitching loss, despite only giving up five earned runs, but was hurt by eight base-on-balls during her six innings of work.
Lexi Peterson had a nice day at the plate for Coach Jess Olson, with a pair of safeties and two runs-batted-in, while Baleigh Stouffer and Alora Garibaldi also had two hits each for Cumberland.
The ladies then rebounded with a big effort on Friday, which ended with a 11-1 victory over the fifth-place St. Croix Falls team. This time Monchilovich was on top of her game, going five strong innings, giving up only one hit, while striking out seven.
It was a nice win for the team with Monchilovich and Presli Butzler each gathering two hits for Coach Olson, while Kelsey Reidy added a big two-run double. Jaydin Gowin, meanwhile, had a single and scored two Cumberland runs.
This week, the squad played Northwestern on Tuesday, before traveling to Ladysmith this Thursday at 5:00 pm and then hosting Cameron this Friday for a doubleheader beginning at 3:00 pm.
