Peru State Softball Evens HAAC Mark

(Peru, Neb.) – With a pair of wins in Marshal, Mo., over the Missouri Valley College Vikings, the Bobcat softball team evened their Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) mark at 7-7 on the season.  Peru State topped the Vikings 10-5 in the first game and then 11-1 in a shortened second game.
 
Overall, Peru State is now 28-19 overall.   Mo Valley is now 5-25 overall and 1-15 in the HAAC.

Peru State would get on the board in the second inning.

Rebecca Perez
 (Hickman) each added two hits.  Holloway and Webb each had three RBI to lead the team.
 
Brittany McNeese
 (Lincoln) singled to shallow right-center but was forced out at second when Webb reached first on a fielder's choice.  Tracy followed with a single and Webb was able to come all the way around to score.  Tracy advanced to second on the throw.  After the second out of the half inning, Lyndes singled to short with Tracy going to third.  Bohlmeyer followed with a single to short which scored Tracy and Lyndes advanced to second.  O'Gorman doubled down the left field line with Bohlmeyer stopping at third.  After a pitching change, Holloway singled to left with both base runners scoring.  At that point Peru State led 11-1 and that would eventually be the last scoring of the game, although the 'Cats threatened in the top of the fourth.

MISSOURI VALLEY GAME TWO BOX SCORE
 
Upcoming Games
 
Peru State still has four HAAC games remaining in the regular season.  In addition, it was noted yesterday that the non-conference games with Haskell Indian Nations University will not be rescheduled as the Fighting Indians do not have any pitchers healthy.
 
The Bobcats will host MidAmerica Nazarene University on Saturday, April 26, in a double header scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.  The Pioneers are currently 20-10 overall and 11-3 in the HAAC, currently good for second in the conference.  They will play Culver-Stockton on Friday before coming to Peru for their final conference games.
 
Then, on Sunday, Peru State will travel to Atchison, Kan., to take on the Benedictine College Ravens.  Presently, the Ravens are 15-18 overall and 8-6 in the HAAC, good enough for fourth right now.   The Ravens have to travel to Central Methodist on Saturday to play the 16th-ranked Eagles before hosting the Bobcats.
 
Peru State has qualified for the HAAC's post-season tournament which will be held in Olathe, Kan., on May 1-3.  The official seeding will not take place until the conclusion of Sunday's games.  The Bobcats could finish as high as fourth or as low as eighth depending on how all of the remaining games play out through Sunday.
