Triton’s Zak Shively earned his first pitching win of the season Friday as the Trojans beat Plymouth 9-7. Shively gave up three hits for three earned runs in five and a third innings, and he also finished with two hits, an RBI and a walk in the win.
Plymouth’s Marissa Sullivan notched 19 strikeouts in two games as the Lady Pilgrims opened their season last week. The senior power pitcher also signed on to continue her softball career at Ancilla College next year.
PLYMOUTH — It’s taken a lot of time and hard work for Marissa Sullivan to reach the next level.
The four-year Plymouth pitcher made it official last Thursday when she signed with Ancilla College to play softball beginning in 2012-13.
“I liked the environment, the people were really nice, and I wanted to play softball somewhere,” said Sullivan of her choice.
“I’m really excited. I’ve worked forever to get to this point, and I’m glad I made it here finally.”
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth softball team came up short in its second game of the young season, dropping a 4-0 decision to LaPorte on Saturday.
LaPorte put up all four runs in the fourth inning. It was all the scoring they would need as LaPorte’s Hannah Fuller held the young Plymouth lineup to just three scattered singles.
