WAYZATA SOFTBALL 2009: Twinem Reaches 100 Strikeouts in 5-1 Victory

May 1st, 2009

By Matt Thomas, Wayzata.com Sports Reporter

Wayzata senior pitcher Anna Twinem reached the 100 strikeout mark for the season on Thursday as the Trojans improved to 9-3 on the season with a 5-1 victory over the Edina Hornets.

Twinem, who has pitched every inning of every game thus far for the Trojans, gave up five hits and struck out five in seven innings of work on Thursday. The five strikeouts gave her 101 for the season and her earned run average now sits at 1.63.

Twinem received some run support thanks in part to a pair of sophomores. Sophomore Meg DuPuis went 2 for 4 with two doubles and two RBI’s. Sophomore Bri Adams went 2 for 4 with a solo homerun.

A pair of seniors – Sarah Laudner and Allie Siu – also chipped in offensively. Laudner went 3 for 4 at the plate and now has eight hits in her last 13 at bats to raise her season batting average to .405. Siu continues to lead the team in hitting with a .488 batting average after going 2 for 3 on Thursday afternoon.

The win pulls the Trojans to within two games of first place Minnetonka, after the Skippers suffered their first conference loss of the season on Thursday, 4-0 to Hopkins. The Skippers still sit atop the conference standings at 6-1, with the Trojans and Royals lurking behind at 4-3.

The Trojans and Royals will break that second place tie on Friday when the two teams meet at Hopkins at 4:15 p.m.

Senior pitcher Anna Twinem had quite an afternoon on Wednesday. Twinem stifled the Edina Hornets as she threw a two-hitter and struck out ten batters as the Trojans won their sixth straight game with a 6-0 victory.

It was the third shutout of the season for Twinem who has now struck out 70 batters in 55 innings of work. She has given up just seven earned runs all season for an earned run average of 1.15.

Senior Allie Siu was also perfect at the plate as she went 4 for 4 with two RBI’s to raise her batting average to .483 for the season. Junior Chloe Rod also had a solid day by going 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored.

The Wayzata softball moved to 5-2 on the season with an important 2-1 victory in nine innings against Classic Lake Conference rival Hopkins on Monday afternoon. The win was the fifth in a row for the Trojans after they had started the season 0-2.

Sophomore Meg DuPuis went 1-3 at the plate with a walk and one of the two runs batted in for the Trojans. Junior Chloe Rod went 1-2 at the plate and knocked in the other run for the Trojans.

While DuPuis and Rod were the offensive spark plugs on Monday, senior Nina Ferguson is hitting the ball better than anyone on the team. Through Monday’s game against Hopkins, Ferguson is hitting an even .500 with 12 hits in 24 at bats. She has four doubles, one triple, six RBI’s, and has struck out only twice.

Senior Allie Siu is also off to a strong start with 10 hits in 25 at bats for a .400 batting average. Siu has two doubles and five RBI’s on the season. Senior Sarah Laudner has also been an offensive threat with a .318 batting average and six RBI’s to tie for the team-high with Ferguson.
