Softball Takes First Two From Lake Region State

Rosemount, Minn. - The DCTC Blue Knights Softball team opened up play on their new home field on Friday with a couple of wins behind improved pitching and defensive balance.  The games mark the first games played on UMore Softball Fields on the south end of the DCTC campus. The double header against Lake Region State College (ND) served as the opening two games for the Region XIII league. Head Coach Tom Cross was pleased with the day as he always knew his team could bat and run. It was his freshman dominated team that would have to find consistent pitching to battle through the season.

Gerchy throws first regional winner

Freshman Cassy Gerchy (Freshman Sauk Rapids) started DCTC's regional schedule by throwing a direct game that saw DCTC beat Lake Region State College of North Dakota 8-2. The game was the first of 16 regional games within the 2015 NJCAA Region Schedule. DCTC competes in four games each against Lake Region, Bismarck State College, Williston State College and Dawson Community College with the winner of the league getting to advance and host the District playoff series.

Sierra Seals the day

Annica Sierra (Freshman St. Paul) pitched the second game of a double header which saw the Blue Knights win in five innings by a score of 11-2.  Sierra's pitching limited Lake Region State College to just two runs, one of which was scored in the first inning. DCTC improved to 6-11 on the season and 6-4 in their last 10 games. DCTC is 2-0 in the Region standings for NJCAA Division II. DCTC and Lake Region play two more games today at UMore Fields.
