"Today we finished our game from back in Billings," Head Coach Lisa Allen said. "We had dug ourselves too big of a hole from the get go. We talked about letting that game go and moving onto the next game. The girls played well in the second game. We didn't make a quick enough adjustment on their pitcher though. Amanda Todd and our defense played well today. We were just one clutch hit away from tying or winning the game. Now our team is headed to Simon Fraser to finish out the GNAC conference."

 Tomorrow, Montana State University Billings will play Simon Fraser in the first two-games of their four game series.  The first game is scheduled to begin at 3 pm Pacific Time.  Live stats can be found at MSUBSports.com.
 
Notes:  With the two wins today, Saint Martin's secures a spot in the GNAC Championships postseason tournament.  The 1-19 loss is the worst loss in MSUB softball history.  The previous record was a 3-20 loss against Mesa State on Mar. 31, the first year in the program's history in 2001.
