Potokar's Three Hits Leads Guins to 8-3 Victory Over Green Bay in Season Finale
   Green Bay, Wis. -- Freshman Katy Potokar went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs batted in and sophomore Cheryl Cale turned in another solid performance in the circle to lead the Youngstown State softball team (12-35, 6-16 Horizon League) to an 8-3 victory over Green Bay in its regular season finale.

    Potakar's run-scoring single in the top of the first gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead and her solo home run - her fifth of the year - in the top of the fourth sparked a three-run frame to give the Guins a 4-2 edge.

    After the Phoenix answered with a run in the bottom half of the fourth, senior Becky and freshman Rochelle Vanyi each plated two runs with back-to-back two-out singles to boost the Guins lead to 8-3 in the top of the sixth inning.

    Cale picked up her team-leading eighth win of the season firing her 11th complete game by scattering just six hits and striking out one.

    The Penguins will play in the 2008 Horizon League Softball Championship, May 8-10, in Chicago, Ill.
