THATCHER, AZ - The Mesa softball team pulled off another impressive victory over a Division I opponent as part of a split of a doubleheader at Eastern Arizona Saturday.
The T-Birds took a 5-3 win in the nightcap over the Gila Monsters (31-14, 27-7) after falling in the opener, 15-0.
The win keeps MCC (19-23, 14-22) within striking distance of a Division II, Region I playoff spot with 12 games remaining.

In the opener, Kendra Whelan (So., Flagstaff, AZ/Coconino H.S.) led off with a single which turned out to be MCC's only hit.
