Softball Recap: Trinity Christian Starts Season with Victory Against Lagrange

Trinity Christian had to kick off their season on the road on Tuesday, but they showed no ill effects. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the LaGrange Grangers a 9-0 shutout. That's more bragging rights for the Lions, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Mary Ruth Adkins made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over six innings pitched. Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs.
