Centenary game
Spring Arbor game
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Sophomore Kelly Kocher turned in another strong pitching performance for the Golden Flyers Thursday and sophomore Casey Mathers slugged a two-run homer as Nazareth defeated Centenary of New Jersey in a spring break softball game, 6-0. Nazareth also lost to Spring Arbor of Michigan in the second game, 8-4.

Kocher, who picthed a no-hitter earlier in the week against Skidmore, won her third game of the week for the Golden Flyers as she allowed just one hit and struck out 12. She carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before surrendering a one-out single.

Mathers, meanwhile, went 3-for-3 at the plate with a two-run homer in the sixth inning. Freshman Mandy Weakley also went 3-for-3 with three runs batted in. Senior Kelley Horbal walked twice and singled and scored twice.

In the second game, Spring Arbor got to Mathers, the Nazareth starting pitcher, for eight hits and eight runs, including six in the first two innings. Spring Arbor also benefited from four Nazareth errors. Offensively, Nazareth managed just two hits -- both by Horbal, who also scored twice.

The Golden Flyers complete their spring trip Friday with games against McDaniel and Ramapo.
