Trojans Complete 100 Innings

                 Madison, SD (9/24/06) – The Dakota State University softball team completed its annual 100 inning Marathon on Sunday under a combination of blue skies and lights. The day began at 8:00 a.m. with the Trojans going through a variety of simulated innings, and completed with an intra-squad scrimmage.

            During the Marathon the Trojans hit .328 had 221 total hits and scored 113 runs, hitting against a variety of guest pitchers. On the day the Trojan pitching staff logged 45 full innings (270 outs) giving up just 22 runs while striking out 115 batters and accumulated a 2.19 ERA.

            “We saw some very good things today. I was worried that the day would take its toll on us, but we hung tough and worked harder as the day went on. Offensively we had a tremendous day hitting and really got things done on the bases. Our pitching staff was very impressive with the exception of about three innings where our pitchers started to get tired and the hitters truly started to get some timing down.” Stated Head Coach Ken Prorok.

            The Trojans would like to thank their faithful fans who helped make the day a tremendous success.
