The Foresters didn't have much offense, but they found enough to split
a doubleheader with Indiana Wesleyan University, winning the opener
1-0 and falling 2-1 in the nightcap.
In the first of two pitcher's duals, the
Foresters (5-6, 1-1) were finally able to put a couple hits together
in the top of the sixth to score the only run of the game. April
Snider was hit by a pitch to get on base. Keri Badenhop singled
to left-center to advance Snider to second and both moved up a base on
a passed ball. Ashley Scally then delivered the big hit with a
single to right that scored Snider for the game-winner.
Lauren Ward (3-2) got the complete game
shutout for HU. She gave up four hits and walked four while
striking out five in seven innings of work.
In the second game, IWU scored first
with one in the bottom of the second, but the Foresters rallied to tie
it in the top of the third when Kendra Stahl scored on a Stacy Socha
double. The score remained tied until the Wildcats put two
doubles together in the bottom of the sixth to take a 2-1 lead.
HU had one more at-bat to make another comeback, but they went down in
order.
Scally (1-3) pitched an outstanding
game despite the loss. She gave up two runs on five hits and two
walks while striking out eight in five and two-thirds innings of work.
