Cale's Strong Efforts Not Enough in Softball Sweep by Butler

    Indianapolis, Ind. -- Junior Cheryl Cale turned in two solid pitching performances, but the Youngstown State softball team left 12 runners stranded in game one and tallied just three hits in game two as Butler swept the Penguins, 1-0, and 3-1, on Saturday afternoon.

    The Penguins fall to 7-35 overall and 3-16 in the league while Butler improves to 23-25 overall and 12-10 in the Horizon League.

     In the opener, Cale struck out four while scattering just six hits, but the Penguins offense could not come up with the big hit, leaving seven runners in scoring position stranded on the base paths.

    The Penguins also could not capitalize on four butler errors.

    Junior Kim Klonowski went 2-for-4 in the opener.

    In the night cap, Cale went the distance for her second complete game of the day but the Penguins offense could only muster three singles.

    The Penguins and Bulldogs close out the series on Sunday at Noon,
