Mansfield ties record with 9-0 start
Freshman Caitlin Klobosits threw a one-hitter and Jen Stein drilled a two-run home run to lead Mansfield to a 8-0 win over Eastern Nazarene at the Snowbird Invitational Thursday morning in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Mansfield's second game of the day against Penn State - Harrisburg was cancelled by rain.
The win gives Mansfield a 9-0 overall record tying the 1992 team for the best start in school history.
Klobosits allowed just a leadoff single in the top of the third while striking out nine and walking one to improve to 5-0 on the season. In 36 innings this season the freshman has struck out 36 batters with a 0.50 ERA.
Mansfield led 2-0 after three innings and scored four runs in the fourth on an RBI triple by Janelle Antes and two-run home run by Jen Stein.
The Mountaineers pounded out 11 hits in the game, including two by Stein, Jordan Rishel and Chara Dixon.
Mansfield, which posted a 7-0 record Myrtle Beach, will travel to Wilmington, Del. to play Goldey-Beacom in a doubleheader on Saturday.
