Ladies back in title race, sweep Flyers

The Softball-Team swept the first-placed Therwil Flyers on Sunday, May 29 at Therwil to even its record at 6-6. The Challengers used a late-inning rally to take Game 1, as they posted a 6-2 victory over the Flyers, who saw their perfect 8-0 record ruined, by an almost perfect Challengers defense.

The Flyers opened the score with two runs in the first inning. Then the two teams exchanged zeros on the scoreboard for the next four innings, before the C's started their rally. Leandra Simitovic led off the sixth inning with a double, followed by an RBI-single from Nancy Plamondon, an RBI-single by Simone Zurschmitten and a two-run double from Simona Cellar to make it 4-2. And the C's added two insurance runs in the seventh frame to eventually win 6-2.

Brittany Howell and Simone Zurschmitten had three hits apiece, while Leandra Simitovic allowed two runs - none earned - and seven hits with three walks while also striking out two for her third win of the season.
