“We hit the ball harder in game two, but we didn’t play as well defensively,” Mothersbaugh said. “We hadn’t been able to take infield for about a week so we weren’t very sharp defensively. We made good plays when we had to though and came away with the win.”

NCMC will return to action today. The Lady Pirates will travel to Sedalia to face off with Three Rivers Community College. The first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.
