Alma, Mi.- The Alma College Softball Team (21-9, 11-2) need to be perfect the rest of the way if they want to have a shot at hosting the MIAA Tournament and with two wins against Calvin College (11-22, 5-11) today, are two fifths of the way to their goal.

 In the first game today, hits were scarce and runs were scarcer, as the Scots pulled out the 3-2 win in the 1:15 quicky.

Katie Koechling (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton North) picked up the win to improve to 10-3 on the season, going six innings while giving up two runs on six hits and striking out two.

Taylor Erwin (Fenton) had the only multi-hit performance, going two for three and shortstop Amy Gaudard (Mt. Pleasant) recorded the Scots only RBI in a one for three game at the plate.

Gaudard kept it roling in the second game as she went two for four with two long balls, three RBI's, and two runs scored. Brittany Fales (Midland/Dow) also had a nice game, racking up three hits in four at bats and freshman Kelly Koenigsknecht (Fowler) added three hits, an RBI, and a run scored in the win.

Fellow first year player, Tara Leddy (Saginaw/Swan Valley), pitched a gem of a game, allowing only five hits in the complete game shut out while striking out six, improving to 10-5 on the year.

The Maroon and Cream will look to keep things rolling as they head to Hope College on Saturday for a pair of MIAA games that will be key in any effort to win the regular season crown. Play will begin at 1:00 p.m.
