Strock's arm brings Blazers back to winning ways
SOFTBALL--Trinity started the GCAC Red Division portion of the season with three losses. But thanks to some outstanding pitching by senior Emma-Leigh Strock, the Blazers have climbed back into the conference race at 4-4. According to Coach Bob Osborne, Strock has gone 23 straight innings without giving up a run and had three shutouts in league games. And in the last four games, she's given up only two earned runs. Plus, the three-year varsity member is closing in on breaking the school's all-time win record, which she should do in a few weeks. "Strock has been pitching great," Osborne said. "She's our best and most consistent player. She hasn't skipped any games. She's a real trooper." Since Strock joined the Blazers, Trinity has known nothing but success in softball. Trinity went 25-11 in 2008, which was a school record for wins in a single season. Strock was 17-9 as Trinity won its fifth regional in a row and advanced to the sectional championship for the first time in school history. This year, the Blazers are shooting to make a run downstate in Class 3A, and Osborne expects Strock to play a key role in the venture. Last week, Trinity won two of three games, starting with a 10-4 victory over Willowbrook on April 23. Strock earned the win, striking out eight in five innings and improving her record to 8-4. Monica Albano had a two-run homer and Annie Logisz had two RBIs and scored two runs. The other win was against Regina on Saturday. Strock went seven innings and struck out six to pick up the 10-1 victory. Albano tripled and slugged another home run, while Monica Garcia added a two-run shot. The lone defeat was a 5-1 loss to Queen of Peace in a GCAC Red Division game Friday. The Blazers' only run came in the first inning when Laura Eichenold homered. Strock gave up two earned runs and the Blazers committed two errors in the seventh inning. Trinity will host Elmwood Park at 4:30 p.m. Thursday and then will participate in the Washington Tournament on Friday and Saturday. The Blazers are at Fenton at 4:30 p.m. Monday.
