2014 Linfield Softball season underway



Linfield's 2014 softball season started Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014, in sunny McMinnville. The Wildcats defeated Northwest Conference opponent Lewis & Clark by 10-0 and 8-0 mercy rule* scores.

Playing at Del Smith Stadium on the Linfield campus, the winning Wildcats had a first game 3-0 lead over the Pioneers before adding seven runs in the bottom of the third.  Linfield won the second game of the doubleheader, 8-0. It,  too, was "mercy-ruled."
