9 The Dallas Post SPORTS Sunday, April 24, 2005 OS0FTBALL Continued from Page 7 start until game day. “There are several factors that go into the decision including what type of team we are facing,” she explained. “Lauren is a finesse pitcher and Sara throws more hard stuff. They both would like to pitch every game, but they have handled the situation very well. I think it helps that are both in the lineup when they aren’t pitch- ing.” Collini, who bats in the leadoff spot in the order, plays right field when she’s not on the mound while Swepston bats cleanup and also plays the outfield or designated hit- ter. Senior Cory Patton has made a big impact in her first season as the team’s starting hortstop. “Cory has been a leasant surprise,” said Tinner. “She made the switch from second base to shortstop and gets smoother every day.” Sophomore catcher Kasey Corbett and freshman Allie Evans have been among the team’s top hitters in the early going. “Kasey has been doing a great job on offense this year,” said Tinner. “She put a lot of pressure on herself last year and struggled to be consistent. This year, she is hitting the ball hard all the time.” Evans, the team’s left fielder and third member of the pitch- ing staff, came through with three two-out hits in the win over Lake-Lehman. After winning just four games all of last season, sec- ond-year head coach Stacey Stack has the Black Knights headed in the right direction. “We were in most of the games last year, but we knew we needed to hit the ball bet- ter this season,” said Stack. “We knew we would get good pitching, so we focused on hit- ting throughout the off season and it has paid off.” Stack’s confidence in her pitching is due to her junior standout Sheree Horvath, who is also batting over .400. “Sheree is one of the best pitchers in the league,” said Stack. “She keeps us in every game and she is also one of our top hitters.” Shortstop Amanda Sagan is the team’s lone senior and serves as captain, while juniors Jill Chocallo (second base), Sarah Navin (first base), Tara Whispell (right field) and Jackey Hettes (catcher) pro- vide additional leadership. “Amanda is a great leader and we have a very good group of juniors,” said Stack. “The kids are very team-oriented. They get along well and they work hard.” Besides improving on last year’s record, Stack and the Knights have their sights set on the post-season. “Our top goal is to get past the first round of the playoffs,” said Stack. “We want to advance as far as possible in the post- season.” FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Sheree Horvath went the distance for Lake-Lehman against Dallas on April 18. Despite striking out 15 Dallas batters, she took the loss. ROUNDUP Continued from Page 7 John Parulski improved to 3-0 by pitching 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
