NEW CONCORD, Ohio – The Capital University softball team ventured over to New Concord where they were shutout in back-to-back games by Muskingum University. 

The Comets fell to 3-23 overall and 1-13 in the OAC. 

Between the two games, Capital was led by Kelcie Schnitzler at the plate as she collected three hits. Liz Stonerock and Krislyn Bayles each added two hits each. The other two hits went to Tiffany Zuelzke and Lexie Leggett. 

Game one was thrown by Brianna Shearer for the Comets. Shearer tossed a solid game, conceding just nine hits and one walk. Unfortunately, six runners came around to score, including four in the bottom of the sixth inning. In the process, Shearer did strike out four Muskie hitters.
