Yellowjacket Softball Opens Season with Two Losses at San Francisco (February 18, 2003)

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The MSU Billings softball team opened the 2003 season with a pair of losses at San Francisco State.  The Yellowjackets lost 2-0 and 4-2 in the afternoon double-header.

In game one, the Gator’s Sonja Garnett threw just the second no-hitter in SFSU history to shut-out the Jackets 2-0.  Garnett struck out three and walked none over seven innings and was just two Gator errors away from a perfect game.  Sophomore pitcher Joey Ehnes went the distance for the Yellowjackets, giving up four hits and two earned runs over six innings.  She struck out six and walked four.

MSU Billings led for much of game two before falling 4-2.  After giving up a first inning run, pitcher Jordan Waverek helped her own cause in the second by singling in Meghan O’Donnell to tie the game.  Waverek pitched six innings for the Yellowjackets, giving up five hits and four earned runs. 

The Yellowjackets took a 2-1 lead in the third when Michelle Falsken grounded out to second to plate Cami Rainey from third base.  Rainey reached on a bunt single.  She then stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball.

The Gators erupted for three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 4-2 lead.  Natalie Batista doubled off the wall to score Holly Pearce.  Rachel Darrow plated Batista with a single, and then scored on a Michelle Villegas double.  The Yellowjackets were unable to score in the top of the seventh as Garnett came in for SFSU to pick up the save. 

The Yellowjackets fell to 0-2 while the Gators improved to 6-11.  MSU Billings will open PacWest play on Friday and Saturday at Hawaii Pacific.
