WPCNR PRESS BOX Special to WPCNR From Kristen Zimmerman. (Edited) June 16, 2004: The NY/NJ Juggernaut swept the three game series against the California Sunbirds with their third shut-out in a row, a 4-0 win Tuesday evening in a National Pro Fastpitch league game at Montclair State University Softball Stadium before 305 fans. Gina Oaks (now 3-1) earned the victory for the Nauts, giving up only three hits and one walk while striking out seven. The Sunbirds managed only eight hits over the entire three game series. The Nauts (8-4, and undefeated under Owner-Manager Paul Plemenos) face the third place Akron Racers this evening whom they lead by 1 game as the Nauts attempt to keep pace with the first place Texas Thunder (at 9-3) league leaders by a single game over the Nauts.
Shortstop Lyndsey Klein batted in two of the four runs for the Nauts’ with a solo homerun over the left field fence in the fourth to make it 2-0 and an RBI double in the fifth for NY/NJ’s fourth run. Klein went 2-for-3 on the night with two RBI and one run scored.
First baseman Kellie Wilkerson also brought in a fifth inning run when third baseman Jaclyn Pasquerella scored on her two-out RBI single. Pasquerella began the fifth inning rally with a leadoff infield hit, one of two hits she had on the night.
Neither team managed a hit until Nauts’ leftfielder Lauren Bauer singled home second baseman Carri Leto in the third inning for the first run of the game. Leto reached base on a fielder’s choice and then stole second to put herself in scoring position for Bauer.
California rightfielder Kellyn Tate had two of the Sunbirds three total hits. She led off the fourth inning with a basehit but Oaks struck out two and induced a ground ball to kill the rally.
The Juggernaut now have an 8-4 record and are currently undefeated at home with a sweep of both the New England Riptide and the California Sunbirds. Today marks the first of a three-game home-stand against the Akron Racers.
Upcoming Schedule:
June 16th vs. Akron Racers (home), 7:35 pm
June 17th vs Akron Racers (home), 4:05 pm
