With two outs in the bottom of the eighth, HC's April Snider drilled a
single just out of the reach of Grace College's shortstop to drive in
the winning run and help the Foresters earn a split in the
doubleheader with the 7-6 victory. The Lancers won the first game with a 2-0 shutout.
HC had to come from behind to pick up
their first win in MCC play. Grace plated four runs in the top
of the first, but the Foresters responded with two in their half of
the inning. The Lancers went up 6-2 in the fifth, but HC
wouldn't go away quietly. The Foresters got two back in the
bottom of the fifth and one in both the sixth and seventh to force the
extra inning of play. Kendra Stahl finished the game with two
triples and Liz Rapone and Kaley Fode each added a double.
Rapone (2-4) also picked up the win in relief for HC. She gave
up no hits or walks and struck out one in three innings of work.
In game one, Grace's Mary Liebsch
tossed a four-hitter to shut out the Foresters. Emily Burkholder
had the only extra-base hit for HC with a double. Renae
Schortgen (0-7) had a solid performance on the mound for HC, but got
no help from her offense. She gave up two runs, one earned, on
eight hits and one walk, while striking out three.
With the split, the women now stand at
4-19 on the season and 1-9 in the MCC. |
