Knights win one, tie one at MacalesterST. PAUL -- Boosted by solid pitching from Sarah Scharf, the Martin Luther Knights won the first game of a nonconference doubleheader 2-1 over Macalester in women's softball Wednesday. MLC and Macalester were tied at 4 after seven innings in the second game when the game was called because of darkness. Scharf (2-3) went the distance in the first game to pick up the win.

Chavez allowed two runs on four hits, striking out three and walking three. Senior Jen Rainey went 1-for-2 with a double to lead MLC (3-9-1) at the plate. Kelly Gawrisch went 1-for-4 with an RBI. Two other Knights -- Gena Schawrtz and Jenny Nommensen -- each collected one hit. Scharf also drove in a run. In the second game, Carla LaBair (0-1) went the distance without a decision. The junior allowed four runs on nine hits. Nommensen led MLC offensively, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. LaBair went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Schwartz was 1-for-4 with two runs scored and stole three bases. "I'm pleased with the way the gals played," MLC coach Barb Leopold said. "If one of the girls was in a slump, one of the other girls stepped it up and that's what teamwork is all about." MLC will host Sioux Falls in its home opener today at 3:30 p.m.
