4/8	East Central	lost	5-2	5-2	4-0	box score Mason suffers its second loss of the season against East Central Tuesday April 8, 2008 When scheduling games outside of conference play, Coach Brian Castner always tries to find opponents that are challenging. East Central from Indiana is no exception. With two strong pitchers, a solid defense and a good mix of batters the East Central team came to Mason prepared to test the Comets on their home field. Colleen Reinoehl suffered her first loss of the season, allowing 6 hits and had 6 strikeouts. The Comets started rallying in the 5th inning with a single by DJ Engelman that brought in Christin Miller and L’Ana Jackson. Realizing the Comets were about to capitalize, the EC team quickly replaced starting sophomore pitcher Eckstein with senior hurler Purdue to try and stop the Comets offensive attack. On the next at bat, a good heads up play by the East Central defense caught two Mason Comet runners off guard and the Comets managed to get caught in a double run-down situation ending the inning. East Central had a second scoring opportunity in the 7th bringing in two more runs to end the game at a 5-2 loss for the Comets. When asked about the loss, Coach Brian Castner responded, “Every team we will face in Tennessee will be tough competition. The loss we suffered today brought up situations we need to work on and in the long run that will help us to prepare for this weekend and the rest of the season in the GMC,” coach Brian Castner explained. The Comets face GMC opponent Oak Hills on Wednesday and then have one day of rest before heading out of town for the Gibbs Invitational in Knoxville, Tennessee. Offensive notes: Offensively the Comets had 8 hits: with Jackson 2-4, Wills 2-3 and players Miller, Roark, Engelman and Allen all contributing one hit.

4/22	Lakota East	won	1-0	13-6	8-3	Mason faced cross-town rival Lakota East today in a game that left the Comets wanting a few more innings to push the runs across the plate. The Lakota East pitcher, Mills, did a good job of mixing up the pitches and using everything in her arsenal to help stymie the Comets offense. At the end of 4 innings of play the score was 0-1 when the Eagles scored on a double by Lakota’s Lafferty. Although both teams had base runners, no other runs scored. Mason had their best chance in the 7th inning. MaCall Sheppard reached on an error and DJ Engelman followed up with a hard hit shot down the line that the 3rd baseman could not handle. With runners in scoring position and no outs, East decided to switch pitchers with Ballinger taking the circle. Katie Wills laid down the sac bunt to bring Sheppard and Engelman one step closer to home plate. Pinch hitter Linsey Shreve hit a hard ball to the shortstop. The shortstop fired the ball high to the catcher at home for a close play at the plate. The umpire called the runner out, but the call was a controversial because the Mason coach thought the runner got under the tag. During the confusion at the plate, another Mason runner was declared out for abandoning the base path, which ended the game. Christin Miller took the loss for the Comets in the circle. The Comets are regrouping to come back harder against Sycamore and Fairfield later this week. BOX SCORE
