Lakers skid continue

Shakamak committed a total of six errors in being swept in a twin bill against visiting Terre Haute South Saturday in non-conference softball games over the weekend.

Shakamak committed four errors in a 6-4 loss to the Braves in game one, before having two miscues in a 4-2 loss in the night cap.

"We just pretty much self-destructed in the first game," Lakers head coach Paige Wolf said. "Errors highlighted the game and we just beat ourselves."

Mikayla Crane was the losing pitcher in the first game. The freshman fanned two batters while scattering eight hits.

Casey Fougerousse and Brandi Ashcraft led the seven-hit attack for the Lakers at the plate with two singles apiece. Ashcraft also drove in a pair of runs.

Crane registered the only extra base hit with a double. Jess Gilbert knocked in a pair of runs with a single and Sydney Weinzapfel recorded a single.

In game two, the Lakers jumped out to a 2-1 lead after two innings, but the Lady Braves tallied single runs in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to complete the sweep.

Brandi Ashcraft was the starting and losing pitcher for the Lakers. She recorded one punch-out and issued one walk.

Ashcraft and Pearson each had a pair of hits at the dish. Pearson and Jazmine Martin each had a two-bagger in the loss, while Marki Collins added a single.

"We played better in the second game, but we just did not come up with enough production to come away with the win," Wolf said.
