 Offense
Returns in 2nd Game as SU Splits DH with CTX
Photo: Senior Lyndsie Travis launches a
two-run home run in the first inning of SU's
11-5 win on Saturday.
Schreiner's
offensive consistency returned as the
Mountaineers scored 11 runs spaced over four
innings an in 11-5 win and split their Saturday
doubleheader with Concordia-Texas.
The Mountaineers (14-5, 3-1 in ASC) lost the
first game 10-0 in five innings.
SU looked lethargic in the first game and were
handled both in all phases of the game in
Saturday's first game. Freshman Becca Hay
(7-3) went five innings but allowed nine earned
runs on 10 hits. The night before, Hay
pitched a three hit shutout of the same
Concordia-Texas (9-9. 1-3 in ASC) team.
She walked six and struck out three. SU
didn't do any better on offense or defense,
accounting for only two hits and making three
errors.
In the second game, a more intense Mountaineer
squad took the field and as was the case in
their three wins this weekend, the offense
started early. After giving up the lead,
1-0, briefly after CTX's at bat, senior Tara
Gonzales led off the bottom of the first with a
single, followed by another by Hay.
Sophomore Marla Jendrusch scored Gonzales on a
sacrifice fly. Senior Lyndsie Travis put
SU ahead to stay with a towering two-run homer
to right center to make it 3-1.
Unlike the rest of this series, where Schreiner
was strong in the first inning but quiet the
rest of the game, SU kept the offensive pressure
up in this game. In the third inning,
Gonzales started the hitting parade again with a
leadoff single. Jendrusch got on base on
an error by the second baseman and Travis was
hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out.
Senior Sarah Trevino ground to the pitcher who
forced out Gonzales at home but beat out the
attempted double play to keep the inning alive.
That was fortunate as a wild pitch scored
Jendrusch. After freshman Angela Bouthout
walked to load the bases again, senior Patsy
Toman (2-for-4, 3 RBI) helped her own cause by
driving a two-run single into center to make it
6-1.
The next inning, junior Lindsay Rutkowski walked
to start the inning and was followed with
singles by both Gonzales (3-for-4, 2 runs) and
Hay, who drove in Rutkowski. Jendrusch's
double cleared the bases, making it 9-1.
Concordia got to Toman (7-2) for two runs in the
fifth to make it 9-3 and added two more in the
sixth to make it 9-5.
SU answered with a pair of runs in the sixth.
Jendrusch (2-for-3, 3 RBI, 2R) started the
inning with a single. With two outs,
Bouthout's double plated Jendrusch and Toman's
double scored Bouthout.
Toman went seven innings, giving up eight hits,
four earned runs and striking out six. The
Mountaineers won three of the four games. |
