Calumet drops two close games to Webber International

BABSON PARK, Fla. – Sydney Murph (SO/Plainfield, Ill.) blasted her first career home run over the center field fence, but it wasn't enough to lift the Calumet College of St. Joseph softball team to a victory over a strong Webber International University (Fla.) team in game two of a spring break twin bill. The Wave kept things close in both games against the Warriors who entered the games with an impressive 11-1 record, falling 6-2 and 4-2, respectively.

Calumet was held to just two hits in the opener, a double off the bat of Kayla Kirmani (FR/Lowell, Ind.) and a single from Sarah Kessler (SR/Lansing, Ill. ). In the nightcap, the Wave pounded out nine hits, led by Murph who added a single to her homer to go 2-for-3. Kirmani also added a double.
