SFCC Lady Roadrunners Sweep Saint Charles at Home

On Thursday, April 11 at Mandy Thomas Field at Centennial Park, SFCC swept a pair of Region 16 and Missouri Community College Athletic Conference games from St. Charles Community College 25-1 and 8-0.

Both games ended in five innings because of the run rule. The sweep of the doubleheader also set a new program record for wins in a season with 19.

"It means our program is headed in the right direction," said Talbot. "We still have 18 or 20 games remaining in the season. I've had different coaches compliment the girls on the job that they have done on the field."

In game one, Love hit a pair of home runs, drove in seven runs and scored three times. Wilson also hit a home run. Sophomore outfielder Celine Dodson of Pilot Grove, Missouri launched her first collegiate home run. Collette contributed four hits, including a triple. She scored three times and drove in three runs.

Wilson had three hits, including a double and scored four times. She also drove in a pair of runs. Watson scored four runs. Rector drove in three runs. As a team, SFCC recorded 18 hits.

Love went the distance in the circle for SFCC. She allowed one unearned run on five hits and struck out 10 to earn the victory.

In game two, SFCC used a different starting lineup.

"We got to mix it up a bit which is nice, because we were able to put a couple players in some different positions and get some players more at-bats," said Talbot.

Collette had a pair of hits, including a triple and drove in three runs. Rector had a pair of hits. Watson scored twice. Dodson and catcher/infielder Lauren Watkins of Columbia, Missouri added a triple each.

Rapp earned the complete game shutout in the circle. She gave up one hit and struck out seven.
