Softball Swept To Begin Six-Game Road Trip

Warriors fall 5-3 and 4-3 at Ferris State.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. – The Wayne State University softball team (20-17 overall, 5-11 GLIAC) began a six-game weekend road trip with a pair of losses at Ferris State University (10-24 overall, 4-14 GLIAC) on Friday.

GAME ONE RECAP

Wayne State took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third as sophomore Emma Adams (Rockwood, Ont.) had a leadoff single, went to second on a sacrifice by senior Kylee Barrett (Croswell, Mich. / Croswell-Lexington), then scored on a single by Brooke Turkalj (St. Jacobs, Ont.).

The host Bulldogs scored twice in the bottom of the frame on a sacrifice fly and an RBI single.  FSU then added three runs in the fourth on a three-run one-out double by Emily Reed.

WSU pulled with two at 5-3, with a two-run top of the fifth.  Barrett had a leadoff home run, and senior Kristen Lucas (Newmarket, Ont.) followed with a single.  After back-to-back fielder's choices, freshman Bryanna Kressler (Kitchener, Ont.) had an RBI double.

IN THE CIRCLE

Junior Megan Guitar (Croswell, Mich. / Croswell-Lexington) allowed five earned runs on 12 hits in six innings of work.  She struck out eight and walked four.

Abby Highway (6-6) earned the victory by holding the Warriors to three earned runs despite allowing 11 hits.  She recorded one strikeout and one walk.

LEADING THE WARRIORS

Kressler went 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI, while Guitar had two hits.

LEADING THE BULLDOGS

Reed went 3-for-3 with three RBI, while four other FSU batters had two-hit games.

GAME TWO RECAP

For the second straight game, WSU scored first but was not able to turn it into a victory.  

Freshman Rose Myers (Rochester Hills, Mich. / Rochester) had a one-out single in the top of the second and advanced to second on a single by junior Ashley Messina (Troy, Mich.).  Guitar's single plated Myers.

The Bulldogs scored twice in the bottom of the second to take a 2-1 lead on back-to-back one-out singles.

The Warriors knotted the game at 2-2 in the fourth as Myers reached on an error, went to second on a single by Messina and scored on a base hit by Guitar.

WSU took a 3-2 advantage in the top of the seventh as Turkalj was hit by a two-out pitch and scored on a single and FSU miscue.

Once again Ferris State responded with tying run in the bottom of the seventh on a two-out home run by Katie Scheuer.

FSU scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth on three singles in a four-batter stretch after the first batter was retired.

IN THE CIRCLE

Kressler (4-6) allowed four earned runs on 10 hits in 7.2 innings.  She struck out three and walked one.

Sam Bates (4-12) went the distance for FSU allowing three unearned runs on nine hits.  She struck out one and did not walk a batter.

LEADING THE WARRIORS

Messina went 3-for-4, while Guitar had two hits and an RBI.
