CSM softball splits two with UCCS


Colorado School of Mines freshman pitcher Katie Kocman (Littleton, Colo./Columbine) fired a complete game, two hitter to lead CSM to a 5-1 victory over UC-Colorado Springs in the second game of Saturday's Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference doubleheader at CSM Field.

UCCS (26-5, 15-5 RMAC) won the opener, 4-0, as it scored four runs in the fourth inning highlighted by Janine Ota's three-run triple.

In game two, the Orediggers raced out to a 3-0 lead after three innings and the Mountain Lions did not threaten as Kocman struck out five. Redshirt freshman second baseman Peanut Eickelman (Pueblo, Colo./Pueblo East) went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI in the second game, while sophomore shortstop Melissa Stratton (Aurora, Colo./Smoky Hill) and freshman leftfielder Margie Cone (Larkspur, Colo./Douglas County) each drove in two runs.

Amanda Ritchie improved to 15-1 this season as she won the opener with a complete game shutout. She allowed eight hits and fanned seven.

The two teams will conclude their four-game series with another doubleheader on Saturday. First pitch is slated for 11:00 am at CSM Field.
