Softball Earns Split Against Saginaw Valley With Late Rally in Game One

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University softball team (23-20 overall, 8-14 GLIAC) split a home league doubleheader on Thursday against visiting Saginaw Valley State University (21-21 overall, 12-12 GLIAC).  WSU rallied for a 3-2 triumph in game one, while the Cardinals claimed the nightcap 8-0.

GAME ONE RECAP

SVSU took a 1-0 lead just five pitches into the game on a double by Lauren Bachert, a wild pitch, and an RBI single by Danielle Hamilton.

The Cardinals extended their advantage to 2-0 in the fourth on a double by Aubree Mouthaan, an infield single by Maddy Burgess and a WSU throwing error.

The Warriors cut their deficit in half in the fifth as junior Ashley Messina (Troy, Mich.) had a leadoff single, with classmate Megan Guitar (Croswell, Mich. / Croswell-Lexington) stealing second after going in to run for Messina.  Sophomore Emma Adams (Rockwood, Ont.) hit an 0-1 offering with SVSU second basman Meredith Rousse making a diving stop but Guitar was able to score from second with a head first slide under the tag.

Saginaw Valley had a chance to extend its lead in the seventh with a runner on second and one out, but Warrior senior Kylee Barrett (Croswell, Mich. / Croswell-Lexington) made a diving catch in left, and the next batter popped out.

Junior Hannah McClounie (Essex, Ont.) walked on five pitches to begin the bottom of the seventh.  After hitting a 1-1 pitch just foul, Messina then singled down the left field line on the next delivery.  Freshman Rose Myers (Rochester Hills, Mich. / Rochester) advanced both runners with a sacrifice bunt.  Following a ground out, Adams hit a 1-2 pitch down the left field line to score both McClounie and pinch-runner Hailey Lazarek (Allen Park, Mich.).

IN THE CIRCLE

Guitar improved to 15-7 by limiting Saginaw Valley to two runs (one earned) on seven hits.  She struck out three and walked two.

Mikayla Alexandrou (7-7) suffered the loss after allowing three earned runs on six hits in 6.2 innings.  She struck out five and walked one.

LEADING THE WARRIORS

Adams went 3-for-3 and drove in all three runs, while Messina had two hits.

LEADING THE CARDINALS

Mouthaan and Burgess each went 2-for-3.

GAME TWO RECAP

SVSU grabbed a 1-0 lead in the third on a leadoff home run by Mouthaan.  Courtney Reeves smacked her team-leading 12th home run the following inning, a two-run shot to give the Cardinals a 3-0 advantage.

Mouthaan garnered another RBI in the fourth with a one-hopper to the fence in right center.  Burgess then made it 5-0 on a safety squeeze bunt on the very next pitch.

Bachert had an RBI single in the sixth and Rousse hit a leadoff home run in the seventh.  SVSU's final run scored on a wild pitch.

IN THE CIRCLE

Rookie Bryanna Kressler (Kitchener, Ont.) started for WSU and allowed five earned runs on six hits in 3.1 innings.  She struck out two and did not walk a batter.  Freshman Presly Buchanan (Cambridge, Ont.) hurled the final 3.2 innings allowing three earned runs on four hits.  She struck out two and walked three.

Kasey Bagelmann notched her first win of the season by blanking Wayne State on five hits.  She struck out four and walked two.

LEADING THE WARRIORS

Guitar reached base twice on a single and a hit by pitch.

LEADING THE CARDINALS

Shelby Misiak went 3-for-4, while Mouthaan had two hits, two runs scored and two RBI.
