Connatser lifts Milligan softball over VI

Milligan College, Tenn. (Apr. 15, 2011) --- The Milligan College Buffaloes softball team used a Chancli Connatser (Maryville, Tenn.) grand slam to pick up an AAC victory on Friday evening as they defeated Virginia Intermont 8-0 in a resumed game at Anglin Field.

The game resumed with Milligan up 1-0 in the bottom of the first, and the Buffaloes quickly added two runs when Krista Lambdin (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Emily Biggs (Kingsport, Tenn.) crossed the plate to give Milligan a 3-0 lead at the end of first. Connatser gave the Buffaloes a 7-0 lead in the third inning with a grand slam. That would be all Milligan needed as they took the 8-0 victory.

In the pitching circle, Connatser got the start and the win as she threw a no hitter, and she recorded six strikeouts.

At the plate, Connatser was 1-for-2 with four RBIs, while Brittany DiRobbio (Oviedo, Fla.) was also 1-for-2.
