Softball breaks out their bats against Yale

Today's games against Yale were definitely a morale booster for Stag softball. Even though the team only won one game, both were very close scores.

The most important part of today's win was that the Stags showed they could come out hard on offense. Four different players (Ringnalda '07, Griswold '10, D'Alessandro '08 and Trifolis '10) logged home runs, not to mention the many other players who managed to get on base and hold their own.

The result of the second game shows a growing trend for the team in that how they start the game is usually how they end it: when they come out strong at the start they usually finish off well, but a few errors in the first two innings means trouble.

Overall today was definitely a positive for the Stags: beating an Ivy League team that had been on a 6 game winning streak would improve anyone's outlook.

We'll see if the Stags can hold onto this attitude as they move into Saturday's games against Niagara.
