Oct 25, 2009

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi softball
ended their fall season with two impressive wins over Texas
A&M-International winning 13-0 and 12-0 on Saturday afternoon.
The Islander pitching and defense did the job with two shutouts and
committing one error.

Sandy Schumann helped the team at the plate
and in the field turning in a few defensive gems on the day.

"Today we were solid hitting the ball and
playing good defense," said softball head coach Jake Schumann
"Sandy Schumann would get a game ball today if we gave one out with
her effort hitting line drives all over and playing great at third
base," Schumann added.

In game one TAMUCC belted out 16 hits and
scored 13 runs against Texas A&M-International. The Islanders
widened the margin with a seven fun fifth inning, which the offense
strung together six straight hits and nine base runners
overall.

Alex Hutchinson was perfect in the circle
through the first four innings before yielding the lone hit to the
Dust Devils in the fifth.

Five Islanders had two-hits in the game
combining for 10 of the 16 total. Caley Jeter and Lauren Dodson
both scored three runs each.

Margo Hurdt and Cassie Redman tied for the
team lead in the first game with three RBIs in the route.

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi jumped right on
the opposition immediately in the second game scoring five runs on
three errors in the opening inning. Landry Moore capped the scoring
in the first with a two out triple that scored two runs.

Hannah Schwarz dazzled in the field making a
couple great catches on hard hit balls.

The Islanders offense continued in the 12-0
route to complete play for the fall.

"We accomplished what we wanted to today
defensively and pitching, in addition a lot of kids got some
playing time today," said Shumann.
