MGCCC softball ranked No. 11

Lady Bulldogs looking for offensive spark

PERKINSTON---A recent lull in the offense finally caught up with Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in a 3-0, 8-0 doubleheader sweep by Jones Apr. 3 in Ellisville.

The Lady Bulldogs (19-7, 10-4) got seven hits in game one but couldn’t score while committing five errors in the field.

Gulf Coast only had two hits in the nightcap against the No. 5 ranked Lady Bobcats.

Meanwhile a Wednesday doubleheader at home against Co-Lin was rained out.

Despite the recent hitting slump, Gulf Coast is ranked No. 11 in the latest NJCAA D-II poll and in second place in the MACJC South Division. Freshman starting pitchers Megan Lamb (2.56 ERA) and Fallon Dyle (1.44 ERA) have given Kenneth Long’s team a solid 1-2 punch in the circle while freshman Julie Butler (5 HR, 13 RBI) and sophomore Kris Albritton (.351 avg., 3 HR, 18 RBI) has helped pace the offense.

The Lady Bulldogs are waiting on tentative dates to make-up rained out doubleheaders with Co-Lin and Pearl River. While the team’s next scheduled twinbill is at Holmes Apr. 10.
