- The Foresters had trouble getting their bats going in the first game
of a doubleheader with Goshen College and fell 4-1, but came back
with a 10-1 rout in the second game.
In the opener, HU struggled to make
solid contact at the plate and finished the game with just three
hits and one run. Goshen pushed the first run across in the
top of the second and the Foresters tied it with one in the bottom
of the third. The Maple Leafs scored twice in the fourth and
once more in the fifth to put HU away.
Lauren Ward went the distance in the
loss. She allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out
14 batters. Brandi Gower had two of HU's three hits in the
game.
In game two, Goshen took the lead
with a run in the top of the first, but it didn't last long.
The Foresters plated three runs in the bottom of the frame without a
hit in the inning. They scored on a passed ball, an error and
a sacrifice fly to take a 3-1 lead. HU added another run in
both the second and third and then brought the game to an early
close with five runs in the fifth.
Molly Long recorded the win for the
Foresters. She threw a two-hitter and allowed one run a one walk
while striking out seven. Keri Badenhop had two hits for HU
including a double and Jeanine Vaszari and Alicia Willour both had
two RBI in the game.
The split gives the Foresters a 15-9
record on the season and a 3-3 record in the MCC. |
