Yellowjacket Softball Team Wins Two to End Fall Season (Oct. 25, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – The MSU Billings softball team won twice against Weber State’s club team Saturday to finish its fall schedule unbeaten.  Late-game fireworks in both games gave the Yellowjackets wins of 11-2 and 14-5.

In the first game, the Yellowjackets and Wildcats were tied 0-0 in the top of the fifth when Joey Ehnes (Jr., Great Falls, MT) plated Christy Wankel (So., Great Falls, MT) with a two-out RBI double.  Stephanie Cochrun’s (Jr., Lake Stevens, WA) single with the next at bat scored Ehnes to put MSUB ahead 2-0.  The Jackets then erupted for seven runs in the sixth to blow the game open.  Megan McCrae (Jr., Brandon, Manitoba) pitches seven innings for the win, allowing six hits and striking out five.

MSU Billings scored seven runs on eight singles in the first two innings of the second game.  Terilee Ehnes (Sr., Great Falls, MT) and Joey Ehnes each scored in the first and second innings.  The Wildcats rallied to draw to within two runs a 7-5 in the top of the fifth inning.  MSUB answered with seven runs in the bottom half of the inning, capped by a walk-off three run homer from Theresa Campbell (Jr., Great Falls, MT), ending the game via the eight-run rule.  Joey Ehnes struck out nine in the win, allowing six hits over five innings.

“Our offense continues to shine,” said Yellowjacket head coach Jeff Aumend.  “No matter how many outs, strikes, or what type of pitcher we’re facing, we are confident at the plate.  We’re excited about our upcoming spring season.”

In the days’ other two games, Dawson CC defeated Weber State 9-1 in five innings and 4-2.
