Box Score CLERMONT, Fla. - The Grinnell College softball team edged out the Colonials from Centre College, 2-1, for its third win of the season. Grinnell's defense was rock solid and prevented Centre from gaining offensive momentum throughout the game.
 
Grinnell got things started early in the bottom of the first inning when Sage Juveland tripled to left field, and Kayla Morrissey executed a squeeze bunt to push her across the plate. Both teams settled in on defense, and the score stayed 1-1 until the top of the fifth.

A Centre College triple tied up the game, but the Pioneers responded in their half of the inning by loading the bases with a walk by Juveland and two infield singles by Morrissey and Andi Leff, all with two outs. Grinnell was granted a boon in the form of an illegal pitch by Centre College that allowed all runners to advance and scored Juveland to make the score 2-1. Grinnell locked in on defense to close out the final two innings and collect another win.

Melissa Anderson had another impressive performance on the mound with 5 strikeouts and no walks in her second complete game of the season.
