Triton College Softball Team Builds Momentum Since Arizona Trip

Things are coming together for the Triton College softball team. After going winless against top-notch competition during their trip to Arizona, the Lady Trojans are 9-4 since returning home.
Triton continued to gain momentum after sweeping a doubleheader from Rock Valley College 3-2 and 11-3 March 31 in River Grove.
The Lady Trojans are within a game of .500 with a 9-10 record, including a 3-0 mark in the North Central Community College Conference (N4C).
"We played all Division I community colleges in Arizona," head coach Art Kasak said. "Our first game was against a team that already played 25 games. We went to school out there but the trip was good because we're starting to come together and I'm really excited about what this team can do."
Jazzy Camacho (Lane Tech) pitched a solid first game against Rock Valley. However, the Golden Eagles spoiled the effort with two runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game at two.
But the Lady Trojans responded immediately in the bottom half. Michelle Rago (Argo) led off the frame with a double and with one out scored on Samantha Pozzie's (Riverside-Brookfield) game-winning single to give Triton the dramatic victory.
In the second game, the Lady Trojans dominated winning in five innings behind a seven-run outburst in the second inning.
Regina Filomeno (Morton West) broke the game open with a bases loaded clearing double that gave Triton a 5-1 lead. Caitlin Thompson (Argo) followed by launching a rocket over the left field fence for her second home run of the young season to make it 7-1.
Triton wrapped matters up via the eight-run rule as a Marilie Jaime's (Morton East) two-run single ended the contest. Samantha Hinman (Ridgewood) pitched all five innings for the complete game victory.
