Michigan, Kansas Defeat Fresno State at Campbell/Cartier Classic
Another rough day for the Bulldogs in 9-4 and 1-0 losses

The Wolverines' ten-hit onslaught was led by freshman Tiffany Haas (3-for-5, 5 RBI) and senior Melinda Moulden (3-for-4, HR).
The Bulldogs stranded 14 runners in the game while the Wolverines left only five on in the 9-4 game. Key hits for Michigan were a two-out, RBI single by Monica Schock to start the scoring in the first; a two-run home run by Tiffany Haas in the second; a bases-loaded-clearing double by Haas in the fourth; and a two-run home run by Melinda Moulden in the seventh. All in all, Bulldog pitchers Lori Hoffman, Amanda Wolf, and Leslie Poole were roughed up for nine earned runs on ten hits, walking five and striking out two.

The Bulldog scoring took place in the first and sixth innings. A single by Christina Clark and RBI double by Jamie Southern in the first tied things at one apiece after one inning. In the sixth, Michigan sent in pitcher Jennie Ritter to finish the game. The freshman, in her collegiate debut, gave up three runs on one hit in the sixth, hitting three batters, walking two, and throwing one wild pitch.

Michigan -	120 310 2	- 9 10 1
Fresno State -	100 003 0	- 4 9 0

WP-Marissa Young (1-1) LP-Lori Hoffman (0-1)

Kansas also took a one-run lead over Fresno State in their top of the first, but that run, on a home run to right-center by Destin Frankenstein, held up all the way for a 1-0 Jayhawk win. Fresno State's Jamie Southern struck out 13 and only allowed one other hit, but Kansas pitcher Kara Pierce shut out Fresno State on a two-hitter for the victory.

Kansas -	100 000 0	- 1 2 3
Fresno State -	000 000 0	- 0 2 0

WP- Kara Pierce (4-1) LP-Jamie Southern (1-4)
