Behind outstanding pitching and solid offensive production, the Alma College Scots (14-5, 4-0) beat the Adrian Bulldogs (6-11, 0-2) 4-1, 5-1 to improve their winning streak to nine in a row and stay undefeated in MIAA play.
Katie Koechling (Wheaton, Ill./North) pitched absolutely lights out on her way to her sixth win of the season. Koechling allowed only three hits and one run, while striking out one on her way to the complete game win.
Amy Gaudard (Mt. Pleasant) and Trista-Lynn Geier (West Bloomfield/Walled Lake Western) provided most of the offensive fire power for the Maroon and Cream going two for three and one for three respectively and each knocking in a pair of runs.
In the second half of the double header, freshman Tara Leddy (Saginaw/Swan Valley) continued to introduce herself as the next arm in the line of dominate Scots' pitchers to the rest of the MIAA as she threw a one run, four hit, complete game to improve to 7-3 on the year.
Gaudard kept it going in the second game, going two for three with a run scored and an RBI. Missy Morcom (Chelsea), who is always outstanding on defense, found her groove from the plate going two for three with an RBI and a run scored. Brittany Fales (Midland/Dow) also went two for three and knocked in a pair for Alma in the 5-1 win.
AC will look to build on their winning streak as they make the long road trip to South Bend, Ind. to take on Saint Mary's College with a 2 p.m. start this Saturday.
