UMHB Softball splits doubleheader with St. Catherine University

“I think they’re all very good players that will add a lot of power to this team”.

Game 2 was scoreless through four innings, but the Reds scored four runs in the top of the fifth, capped by Alonzo’s two-run blast to right-center.

Taylor Meaux and Sean Bergeron each homered in the opener, and Alec Paz and Alex Ashby went deep in the nightcap as part of AC’s 21 combined hits in the two games. The Owls would score two more in the game to finish it off, going into Saturday undefeated.

Grace scored one run in the second inning thanks to a well-executed squeeze bunt from Young to score Kleinbub.

The Lady Bruins tied the game at 3 in the bottom of the third inning after sophomore shortstop Emily Bryant hit a two-out, full-count pitch over the same part of the right-center field fence that Howell striped hers over.

“The first inning I was mostly throwing fastballs because of the rain, but as the game went on I was mostly throwing rise balls and curves”.

Graves has a 1.55 ERA, but a 4-7 record with the lack of run production in Butler’s lineup.

In their second game on Friday, the Gusties dropped a 2-13 decision against Case Western Reserve. Lehman (0-1) didn’t have a hit and had five errors. While the Clan would lose the match, they took away Azusa’s ideal game as smile-ending as possible, with a homerun from shortstop Taylor Lundrigan to lead off the final inning. UMHB recorded another four-run inning in the seventh to take a 9-1 lead. Zach Rider took the look out of the bullpen after he gave up one run in two innings of work. One out later, consecutive doubles by Trinidad, Swimley and Inouye, followed by a RBI single from Gresham ran the score to 15-1. Demopolis trailed 4-0 in the top of the third when Kendall Hannah doubled home Napoleon Roberson to narrow the deficit to 4-1.

The Red Riders (3-0) scored five times in the bottom of the second to pull away from the Bears (0-3) early.

The big three of senior Amanda Bickford, Sophomore Michaela Kane and Thompson tallied 8 of the 16 hits for the Hawks.

Freshman Ashley Neuenfeldt suffered the loss after three innings on the mound.

Dustin Duhon’s single put the Cowboys on the board when his slap to left field plated Bourque to make it 2-1.

Kylee Fahy threw a one-hitter and went 3 for 4 with two RBI at the plate to lead the Bakersfield College softball team to 8-0 win over visiting Moorpark College on Monday.

“Just a great day for Riley for her to come in and pitch nearly 12 innings of shutout ball, she did a fantastic job”, said Deiros. Lilly Blecha led MV with three base knocks after going 3 for 3 with an RBI.

“We’re trying to solidify that 2-3-4 spot [in the batting order]”, Karwoski said.

Scharfman drove in three runs and Cloe Smith two on two hits each.

Kristen Rappold pitched five innings, striking out eight, walking two and allowing six hits to get the win.

HRV’s next home game will be on April 2 versus Clackamas.
