ROCHESTER, Minn. - - Hours after the Truman softball team suffered its first loss of the 2013 season, freshman Kindra Henze and senior Kirsten Krause combined for the program’s eighth no-hitter since 1999 to pick up a day one split at the MIAA/NSIC Crossover.
Henze (Palmyra, Mo., Palmyra) struck out 10 of the 12 batters she faced, including the first five to start the game, while Krause (St. Louis, Mo., Parkway North) added another strikeout in the fifth as Truman cruised to an 8-0 abbreviated 5-inning win against Sioux Falls (S.D.). The Bulldog win capped the day with a victory after the purple and white came on the short end of an 8-6 loss to Upper Iowa in the opener.
On the day, Kristin Grossman (Glen Ellyn, Ill., Glenbard South), Cate Simon (O'Fallon, Mo., Fort Zumwalt South), Andrea Klipsch (St. Louis, Mo., Lindbergh) and Kelsey Bollman (Maquoketa, Iowa, Maquoketa) each tallied four hits, with Grossman recording nine total bases with a pair of doubles and a round-tripper. The ’Dogs hit .424 as a team, going 25-for-59 with eight extra base hits.
The Bulldogs return to action with two games on Sunday, taking on Winona (Minn.) State at noon before facing Concordia-St. Paul (Minn.) at 2:00 pm.
