Softball Drops Midweek Game with Luther

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Coe College softball team fell to Luther College 12-1 in a midweek matchup at Clark Field. Coe took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning but Luther scored six runs with two outs in the top of the fifth inning en route to the victory which clinched the season series. The loss snaps a three game winning-streak for the Kohawks as they fall to 16-8 overall and 11-4 in the A-R-C while Luther improves to 20-11 and 9-8 in league play. Kelsey Hora, Shaylee Dodd and Ruby Kappeler led the offense for Coe as the trio all posted two hits in the game with Kappeler driving in Coe's lone run of the afternoon. 
 
LUTHER 12 - COE 1
It was a slow start to the game for both teams as the squads combined for just four hits in the opening 3 ½ innings. Coe had the best chance early on as Kappeler doubled in the top of the second but solid defense from the Norse cut down the potential opening run of the game. The Kohawks finally broke through in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring one run on three hits, including an RBI single from Kappeler. Luther responded immediately in the top of the fifth, getting a lead-off home run from Hannah Halverson to tie the game. The Norse added more runs later in the inning with two outs, scoring six runs to take control of the game. The rally started with an RBI single as the next two runs scored via bases-loaded walks to make it 4-1. The big hit came from Hannah Halverson as she hit bases-clearing double, scoring three more while increasing the Norse lead to six. Luther's bats stayed hot in the sixth inning as it added five more runs on five hits to put the game out of reach for Coe. 
 
Up next: Coe will hit the road for the next A-R-C series when it travels to Dubuque to play a three game series with the Spartans of the University of Dubuque on Friday and Saturday.
