Lady Vikings ignite €00ffense, roll past Laurel, Polytech
Cape sophomore Katie Couchman slides safely into third
base in an 11-3 win over Laurel on April 15.
By Susan Frederick
Cape softball cruised to a 12-2
victory over Polytech on Monday
afternoon, April 17, as Bill Cor-
drey's Vikings remain in the thick
of battle in a talented Henlopen
Conference and look to a sched-
ule loaded with the best of New
Castle County later in the season.
"We're at the midway point in
the season. We've had a good
start. What we have to do is beat
the teams that we should beat and
play to get some wins from some
of the toughest ones."
Junior pitcher Maggie Lingo,
now at 7-2 on the season, fanned
nine Polytech players in Mon-
day's game and walked only one.
"When you've got an excellent
pitcher, you've got an excellent
chance. We've also got as strong

Viking bats sizzled for six runs in

pitchers handle the ball. We've

got to put the ball in play and not
strike out," said Cordrey. "Any
time you can do that, you've got a
chance to manufacture some
runs."
The Panthers' single hit came
when catcher Christy Vodvarka
sent Lingo's first pitch back over
the center field fence for a two-
run homer in the top of the third
inning.
Katie Couchman and Jenna
Pavlik crossed the plate in the
third and fourth to put the Vikings
up 10-2 at the top of the fifth in-

Here's a multiple choice sports
question for you. You walk past
the Cape Henlopen home bleach-
ers during a football, basketball or
lacrosse game and what's the one
voice you're most likely to hear?
A. Suellen Skeen. B. Ron Bur-
rows. C. Juice Wiltbank. D.
Bruce Vavala.
Answer - D.
Juice doesn't follow lacrosse!
Write your own joke for A and B.
