The Tri-State
University Thunder struck down early Forester leads in both games to
earn the 7-3, 14-6 sweep. A
closer look at the box scores shows that one bad inning in both games
is what lead to HU's demise.
In game one, the Foresters (6-9)
scored a run in their first at-bat and the 1-0 lead held until
Tri-State plated five with two out in the bottom of the third.
HU committed three errors in the inning and the Thunder took
advantage. The two teams traded two more runs over the next two
innings to reach the final 7-3 margin.
Lauren Ward went
the distance in the loss for HU. She game up seven runs, but
just two were earned, on seven hits and two walks. She struck
out five. Brittney Bateman had a double and scored a run to for
the Foresters.
In game two, HU
owned a 6-2 lead after three at-bats, but again the third inning
proved disastrous for the Foresters. Seven hits and one error
later, the Thunder had put eight runs on the board to take a 10-6
lead. Tri-State added four more over the final three innings to
put the game away.
Ashley Scally took
the loss for HU. She gave up 10 runs on nine hits and a walk
while striking out four in two and a third innings of work. Ward
had two hits including a double and three RBI to lead the Foresters at
the plate.
