The Softball-Team swept the Wil Devils on Saturday, May 25, 13-5 and 8-7. In the first game of the double header Leandra Simitovic pitched brilliantly surrendering only one earned run with four strike outs, while Simona Cellar led the team with her bat going 3-for-3 at the plate with a homer and 3 RBIs. The Challengers offense was unstoppable throughout the game with a total of 14 hits allowing the challengers to beat the Devils in only 5 innings.

 

In Game two Macy Morgan and Karen Heimgartner were able to pull off another victory for the Challengers on the mound. The Challengers offense was slow to start but with the help of Wehrli who was 3-for-4 at the plate, the ladies got the momentum going and were able to profit from the Devils' errors in the 4th to make it 3-5. By the next go around with the bats Henna Määttä then came through for the challengers with a two-run triple to tie up the game and Cellar's bat made Määttä score and the Challengers take the lead. At 8-5 in the bottom of the 7th inning the Devils tried to make a jaw-dropping come back but the Challengers defence proved to be superior and did not allow it.

 

With the two wins the C's improved their record to 3-5 and moved into fourth place. They will face the Therwil Flyers on June 16 at the Klopstockwiese.
