The Drury Softball team's Spring Break tour ended this past weekend with a return from Gaffney, South Carolina. The team went 2-4 on the 7 day trip and visited Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, and Georgia.
Sophomore pitcher/infielder Laura McCarthy had complications on the trip as a Northern Kentucky player stuck a cleat in the back of her ankle with had to be followed up with stitches and a few days rest. The panthers were down to 9 players for a few games, but hung tough. Sophomore pitcher Brittany Davis had not stepped in the batter's box for over two years before McCarthy's injury, but was forced to step up for the Panthers and even managed to get a hit in 1 of her 3 at-bats.
The lady panthers also played Quincy University this afternoon and dropped a pair of games, however Jana Provance had four hits and an RBI on the day, and Brittany Davis threw a great game. A disappointed coach, Annie Medico, pleaded with her team to not give up on the season as there are still 23 games left, and plenty of time to make it to the conference tournament.
The panthers are back in action on Wednesday in Joplin, MO against Missouri Southern State University.

A cleat to the ankle? OUCH. Hopefully you ladies can keep up the hard work!
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that sports players get to travel to so many different places. But I'm sure after spending hours on a bus, it doesn't seem so interesting...
