(5-4) worked five innings in (ECDC-ND) ~1ishawaka, IN game one and senior Jessica Sharron relieved for the final 243-9100 two innings. Gumpf used the same strategy in game two with freshman Heather Booth (9-5} pitching the first five and sopho­ more Carrie Wisen throwing two scoreless innings of relief. Loyola pitcher Jenny Rice (5- 6) took both losses for the Ramblers. The strong continued offensive output, the good pitching and zero defensive errors are the formula the Irish strive for each and every time they take the field. "It's like we talk about, if we do three things well, we are going to win," Gumpf said. "We pitched well, we hit~ell and we played defense. If we do those things, we give ourselves a shot, I a real good shot." After getting doubleheaders cancelle·d at Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech last weekend, Notre Dame is looking forward to starting their Big East sched­ ule Saturday at Providence. "We are so excited to start Big East play," Gumpf said. "We are ve.ry excited." But the forecast is calling for rain and hopefully It won't, just like Thursday.
