Softball Holds
Off Rally, Splits Series with 2X ASC Champs
Schreiner starting pitcher Patsy Toman threw her
fourth complete game in 24 hours, and held off a
Hardin-Simmons rally to win the second game of a
doubleheader and earn a second-straight dh split
with the two-time defending ASC West champions.
Hardin-Simmons hit three home runs in the first
game to score a 7-4 win.
With the wind blowing out at Mountaineer Field,
it came as no surprise that plenty of runs would
be scored today. The Cowgirls (8-6, 2-2 in
ASC) came out bombing early in the first game.
Sadye Hill hit one homer and Cricket Criner hit
her first two home runs of her career to pace
HSU. SU freshman Marla Jendrusch drove in
two runs with a double to close the gap to 5-3
in the fifth inning, but Criner's second shot
was the back-breaker. Jendrusch and senior
Megan Eichman each had two hits.
In the second game, the roles were reversed.
After Hardin-Simmons took a brief 1-0 lead in
the first, the Mountaineers (7-9, 2-2 in ASC)
unloaded on three HSU pitchers in the first
inning. Before the inning was over,
Schreiner had hit two home runs and scored all
eight runs. The big blows came first from
junior Sarah Trevino who hit a grand slam and
then Eichman who followed three batters later
with a two-run dinger. Jendrusch added two
more RBI. SU couldn't get any other runs
and barely held off Hardin-Simmons but the eight
runs were just enough.
Hardin-Simmons has won the ASC West Division
crown each of the past two years and were picked
to win again this year. Schreiner, despite
overcoming injuries, again showed that they are
a team on the rise in the ASC. |
