Rapid River, Escanaba Post Softball Wins At Dome
The 2012 high school softball season got under way Friday with the ninth-annual Northern Michigan University Spring Swing Softball tournament at the Superior Dome.
The Escanaba Eskymos opened the season on a positive note Friday, beating the Marquette Redettes, 6-1, at the Dome. Codi Jenshak picked up the win on the mound. The Eskymos will play two more games on Saturday. The Escanaba Junior Varsity team topped the Stephenson Eagles varsity team, 16-2, Friday night. Brittany Bruce and Jessica Gill both hit home runs for Escanaba. Sam Connor and Jaymie Frappier each pitched two innings in the mercy-shortened game. The Manistique Emeralds won their season-opener, but suffered a huge blow in pre-game warm-ups when sophomore Vanessa McNamara jumped up to catch a fly ball. McNamara caught the ball, and flipped over the outfield fence. When she landed, she broke her arm. |
