| 04.03.07 - In a
Mid-Central Conference match-up, Bethel College used solid pitching
and took advantage of HU's miscues to sweep the Foresters 2-1 and 7-1.
In game one, Bethel pitcher, Brittney
Hire, got a two-run cushion in the first inning thanks to some costly
HU errors and she made it stick. The Foresters (6-11, 1-3)
managed just three hits in the game, but did generate a rally attempt
in the seventh that fell short. Lauren Ward only allowed the
Pilots three hits as well, but the two unearned runs HU gave up in the
first proved to be all Bethel needed for the win.
Errors proved to be
costly in the second game for HU as well. The Foresters took an
early 1-0 lead with a run in their first at-bat, but the offense ended
there. Bethel tied it in the second then scored six more times
in their final three at-bats. Only four of the runs were earned
as HU committed three errors in the contest. Ashley Scally took
the loss for the Foresters. She only gave up four hits, but
walked nine batters while striking out two in seven innings.
Five different players had one hit for HU.
