The Enterprise State Community College Weevil Women are accustomed to winning far more softball games than they lose and, in the process, earning post-season playoff berths.
But Enterprise is also used to having more than three sophomores on the diamond.
“We’re playing seven to eight freshmen this season,” said veteran ESCC coach King Jones.
Enterprise lost three key players mere days before the start of the 2010 season. Gone from the team are the starting shortstop, second baseman and center fielder.
“We only have players for two years anyway, but it’s tough to lose three key, starting players right before the season,” Jones said. “They were our fastest players and all three had decent batting averages.”
Despite the loss of players, the Weevils opened their season Sunday against visiting Andrew College and managed to split a doubleheader.
The Weevils won the first game, 2-0, as Jordan Taylor struck out eight en route to the win. Enterprise lost the second game, 9-2, with Savannah Kirkland taking the loss.
“We actually had more hits in the second game than we did in the first,” Jones said. “We had to manufacture our runs in the opener. Andrew College is much improved over previous years.”
Enterprise and Andrew meet again Saturday in Cuthbert, Ga. Doubleheader action is slated for a 1 p.m. start.
