Stars keep perfect record (04/16/03)
Starfire Roundup
After finishing just over .500 a year ago, the South Adams softball team has served notice to start the 2003 season.
The Starfires won their third straight to open the season with a 5-2 victory over Allen County Athletic Conference rival Leo Tuesday. They are now 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the ACAC.
South Adams jumped on the board early and then let its defense take care of the rest. It score two runs in the first, two more in the second and one in the third for a 5-0 lead.
The Lions managed a couple of runs late in the game, but couldn’t rattle Starfire starter Mikeala Smith.
Smith got her third win of the year, allowing two runs — one earned — on eight hits in seven innings. She struck out one and walked one.
Carrie Nichols and Jill Lehman were responsible for much of the South Adams offense.
Lehman went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored. Nichols had just one hit, but it was a two-run home run.
The Starfires will look for their fourth straight win Saturday when they play at Norwell at 11 a.m.
