Softball Splits At Tiffin

Warriors rebound from 4-3 setback for 9-3 victory.

TIFFIN, Ohio -- The Wayne State University softball team (20-15 overall, 5-9 GLIAC) split a conference doubleheader at Tiffin University (20-15 overall, 8-4 GLIAC) Thursday afternoon.  A late rally by the Warriors was not enough in game one falling 4-3.  WSU recorded a 9-3 triumph in the nightcap to end a four-game losing streak.

GAME ONE RECAP

The Dragons scored once in the first on a pair of hits, a stolen base and a Wayne State error.

TU increased its lead to 2-0 in the fourth on a walk, a ground out, and an RBI single by Amanda Rock.

Tiffin led 3-0 after a run in the fifth on two hits, a walk and a bases loaded hit by pitch.

In the sixth, a leadoff single, a stolen base and an RBI single by Libby Crow made it 4-0.

In the top of the seventh, the Warriors scored three times and had the tying run at second base when the final out was recorded.  Senior Kristen Lucas (Newmarket, Ont.) walked, and with one out sophomore Emma Adams (Rockwood, Ont.) singled.  Freshman Rose Myers (Rochester Hills, Mich. / Rochester) worked a walk to load the bases.  Freshman Rainey Psenicka (Guelph, Ont.) drove home both Lucas and pinch-runner Hailey Lazarek (Allen Park, Mich.) with a single.  Myers scored on an RBI ground out by sophomore Brooke Turkalj (St. Jacobs, Ont.).

IN THE CIRCLE

Freshman Presly Buchanan (Cambridge, Ont.) suffered the loss after allowing four runs (three earned) on 11 hits in six innings.  She struck out two and walked three.

TU's Kimmy Reynolds improved to 9-6 by limiting WSU to three earned runs on eight hits in seven innings.  She struck out three and walked three.

LEADING THE WARRIORS

Psenicka went 3-for-4 with two RBI, while junior Hannah McClounie (Essex, Ont.) had two hits.

LEADING THE DRAGONS

Jamie Sevenish and Crow each had three hits, while Gabrielle Hess added two hits and two runs scored.

GAME TWO RECAP

Wayne State snapped its losing streak by scoring six times in the top of the fifth to break a 2-2 deadlock in the 9-3 victory.

The Warriors began the contest with four consecutive singles - Lucas, Psenicka, Turkalj and freshman Bryanna Kressler (Kitchener, Ont.) - with Kressler's base hit scoring two.

Tiffin responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first to knot the game at 2-2.

Kressler led off the fifth with a single and advanced to second on a single by junior Megan Guitar (Croswell, Mich. / Croswell-Lexington).  Myers reached on an error to load the bases with one out.  Adams followed with a two-run single, then Lazarek delivered an RBI single to make it 5-2.   With two outs, Psenicka's double plated Adams and Turkalj contributed a two-run single.

WSU added to its advantage in the sixth as McClounie was hit by a pitch, went to second on a ground out, and scored on a single by Myers.

The Dragons got one run back on a leadoff home run by Brooke Lambert.

IN THE CIRCLE

Guitar (12-5) earned the victory after holding Tiffin to three earned runs on seven hits in seven innings.  She struck out a career-high 10 batters with just one walk.

Tiffany Snell started for Tiffin and pitched a total of two innings.  She surrendered three earned runs on five hits.  Snell struck out one and walked one.

April Bennett (0-1) tossed five innings and allowed six runs (two earned) on eight hits with one strikeout and one walk.
