1985 Miracle Yearbook

No-hitter Highlights Season B eginning in January, 16 women plus 3 coachescame together to form Cedarville College's first women's fasr-pitch ream. During the winter months, the team practiced indoors in preparation for the spring season. On March 15, the ream packed up and headed for Holly- wood, Florida, for intense practice and a little fun in the sun. In Florida, members of the coaching staff stressed fundamental skills, spe- cifically hitting and fielding. The practices paid off when the Women's Softball Team finished 15-9 overall and 8-4 in the WBCC,which was good enough for a third place finish. During the course of the season, the team did a study on the word "encourage- ment." Among the season's highlights, the team claimed on exciting "come from behind 3-2 victory" over Wirrenberg University. Also, sen- ior co-captain Julie Erdmann tossed a no-hitter in a 6-0 victory over Marietta College, an NCAA school in southeastern Ohio. The ream will once again face a rough season of play in 1986 in the ever tough WBCC,but it proved this year in the season of challenges that there is no mountain that can't be climbed.
