In a game heard Friday evening on WHOW, the Clinton Lady Maroons fell to Maroa-Forsyth 12-2 in five innings.  The non-conference matchup was relocated to Millikin University's turf softball complex due to wet field conditions.  
 

The Trojans jumped out to 4-0 lead in the top of the first, and never looked back.  They were led by Mariana Rohman, who threw two shutout innings of one hit ball with four strikeouts for the Trojan win.  At the plate, Maroa-Forsyth was led by Reese Tirpak, who went 2 for 2 with a two-run homerun and a triple. Val Foulke also went 2 for 3 with two runs batted in on a homerun and triple.  The Trojans are now 4-0 on the season. 
 

The young Clinton team is facing a slew of injuries already this season, especially in the pitching department.  Usual starting center fielder Brooke Reeves got the start.  She took the loss on five innings of work; allowing 12 runs on 13 hits with four strikeouts, five walks, and on hit batter. 
 

The Lady Maroons were led at the plate by the Serv-Pro of Piatt/Dewitt County Player of the Game Alaina Soberalski.  The junior catcher went 2 for 3 at the plate.  Heidi Humble and Brooke Reeves also went 1 for 3 for Clinton.  
 

Clinton falls to 0-2 on the year.  They next play Monday at home against GCMS. 

Next week's "Maroons Game of the Week" broadcast on WHOW is scheduled for Thursday at 4:30 as Clinton hosts Central A&M in a CIC conference matchup.
