Hardin-Simmons Takes Four Game Series from
Schreiner
Hardin-Simmons ran its school-record win streak
to 12 straight games, the last four against
visiting Schreiner, and swept their series with
the Mountaineers. HSU won the two
games on Tuesday by 8-6 and 6-1 scores and swept
Wednesday's doubleheader by 9-8 and 9-4 counts.
In the first game of the series, the Cowgirls
(12-0 in ASC) jumped ahead 5-0 before Schreiner
rallied with three runs in each of the fourth
and fifth innings. In the fourth, senior
Autumn Vara's RBI double scored freshman Ashley
Bouthout to get SU (6-6 in ASC) on the board.
Junior Lindsay Rutkowski's sacrifice grounder
drove home senior Patsy Toman for the second run
and senior Tara Gonzales' single scored Vara.
In the fifth, after HSU scored a run to go ahead
6-3, Schreiner tied the score. ASC Player
of the Week Sarah Trevino started the inning
with a home run - her second of the year.
An RBI double by Rutkowski and single by
Gonzales plated the other runs.
HSU scored the game winning runs in the bottom
of the sixth on three hits off Toman (9-4).
SU had 12 hits in the game but stranded 9
baserunners.
In the second game, SU couldn't mount much
offense besides sophomore Marla Jendrusch's home
run in the fourth inning. HSU scored four
runs in the second off freshman Becca Hay (8-5)
to that cut the deficit to 4-1 but HSU scored
twice in their half of the fourth to expand the
lead.
In Wednesday's first game, Hardin-Simmons got on
top, 4-1, in the bottom of the third. In
the top of the fourth, the Mountaineers answered
with six runs - the big shot being a grand slam
by Gonzales - her second HR of the game.
SU had an 8-6 lead going into the bottom of the
seventh only to see HSU rally on a two-run homer
by Lee and a walk with the bases loaded by Hay.
In the finale, HSU again jumped ahead with four
early runs. The Cowgirls led 8-1
before senior Lyndsie Travis' three-run homer
brought SU within four but that's as close as
the visitors would get.
The Mountaineers
don't have much time to regroup. Mary
Hardin-Baylor comes to Mountaineer Field to
begin a four-game series on Friday evening. |
