"He makes things happen when he's in there. He's a great defensive player (and) he's willing to do a lot of the dirty work not everyone is willing to do." See how he answered the questions.

Q & A with OCC softball players Kursten Evanski and Sarah Munson

By Tony Lee On Wednesday, April 15, 2009 0 comments
The Orange Coast College softball team played a game earlier today against Santa Ana College.

The lady Pirates lost 5-1 - the lone run scored by Kayse Potter.

Coast players Kursten Evanski (left) and Sarah Munson (right) are here after the game to support the men’s volleyball team.

Do you guys come to a lot of the volleyball games?
Sarah: Yes we do.
Kursten: Yeah.

Do you guys wish you had this many people for your softball games.
Sarah: Yeah, maybe we’d win then. Yesterday we had a class come watch us for extra credit. It’s so sad.

Talk about the game a little bit.
Kursten: They met with the ball so that was all we could do. They hit a few shots up the middle and we had some errors.

Did you guys have chances to rally or anything like that?
Kursten: We had a few of them but when we hit the ball sometimes, they were hard hits, but we hit it straight to them. But I don’t think we could be mad because we put the balls in play.

When’s your next game?
Both: Friday (at 3 p.m.).

Against?
Sarah: Santiago (Canyon College).
Kursten: Our last two games are at home.

What do you want to say to the fans so they’ll come to the game?
Sarah: We’re good looking.
Kursten: That’s all you need.

PirateTXT: Softball player Kursten Evanski

Orange Coast College's softball player Kursten Evanski (No. 11 in the second row) told me that she's proud of the team's performance yesterday against Riverside Community College.

A little background on the lady Pirates: the team have been battling injuries all season and the team only has two pitchers Sarah Munson (No. 5 in the first row) and Maddie Page (No. 17 in the second row).

The girls practice and play hard everyday trying to get better - even if they are not going to make the playoffs and the season is coming to an end.

The lady Pirates are still looking for its first Orange Empire Conference win but trust me, it's not due to a lack of effort or talent.

Here's what Evanski told me about the game.

Me: hey I just saw ur facebook status...does that mean u guys won ur first conference game?
Kursten: no we lost 7 to 8 but it was amazing. everyone had heart the whole game they all really wanted it. sarah pitched her soul out yesterday, candice (No. 19 in the first row) hit a three run
Kursten: home run which brought in me who hit a shot out to left center and kiele (right of Evanski in the second row) who hit a hard ground single. then sarah got hit in the inner tigh. and it was so nice to
Kursten: here the opposing team get chewed out because of how well we played. it really turned some heads. but if i could replay that entire game again
Kursten: i would. im so proud of these girls for all of those 7 am practices and it finally showed what we are capable of.
Kursten: I could honestly and would brag about that game all day. people would get annoyed but i don't care :-)
Kursten: and it wasn't just one person who contributed. it was EVERYONE!!!!!!!

The lady Pirates' next game is at home against Saddleback College on April 13 at 3 p.m. Everyone come support the ladies and cheer them on to hopefully its first OEC win.
