There is just a little under a month left in the season for the Monmouth College baseball and softball teams. In recent action, the Scots softball team picked up several wins over this past weekend including a Saturday doubleheader sweep of Ripon, then a split with Lawrence that saw Monmouth win the first game 5-4 in extra innings. After their weekend contests, the Scots softball team now sits at 5-22 on the season, with their next scheduled contest set for Wednesday against Illinois College in a doubleheader.
As for Monmouth baseball, they did not get Midwest Conference games in over the weekend, with their last MWC contests coming in the form of a doubleheader against Knox college on Wednesday. The Scots would end up improving their overall record to 11-12 by splitting against the Prairie Fire with a 4-3 loss in game one, then a 12-2 win in game 2.
