Softball Splits Another GLIAC Doubleheader

Warriors win 8-0 in the opener but fall 3-2 in the nightcap.

KENOSHA, Wis. – The 20th-ranked Wayne State University softball team (23-12 overall, 6-8 GLIAC) split a doubleheader at Wisconsin-Parkside (1-33 overall, 1-15 GLIAC) on Sunday afternoon.  The Warriors ended a season-long three-game losing skein with an 8-0 triumph in five innings in the opener.  The Rangers rallied with two runs in the bottom of the seventh of the nightcap to prevail 3-2.
 
GAME ONE RECAP
 
Just nine pitches into the contest, Wayne State led 1-0 after senior infielder Hannah McClounie (Essex, Ont.) had a one-out bunt single and scored on an RBI double by sophomore center fielder Bryanna Kressler (Kitchener, Ont.).  After a ground out, senior Ashley Messina (Troy, Mich.) doubled to score Kressler.
 
In the top of the third, McClounie smacked the first pitch of the inning over the left-centerfield wall and Kressler did the same on a 3-1 offering to make it 4-0.  Junior Brooke Turkalj (St. Jacobs, Ont.) singled, went to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a ground out.  Redshirt freshman Emily Dodge (Burlington, Ont.) singled in Turkalj, while sophomore Presly Buchanan (Cambridge, Ont.) doubled down the right field line scoring Dodge from first to make it 6-0.
 
The offense continued in the fourth as sophomore second baseman Rainey Psenicka (Guelph, Ont.) had a leadoff double and scored on McClounie's second round-tripper of the game.  The last Warrior with two home runs in a game was McClounie on March 11, 2018, vs. Jefferson.
 
Dodge and Buchanan had back-to-back singles to the fifth, but the next three batters were retired.
 
IN THE CIRCLE
 
Senior Megan Guitar (Croswell, Mich. / Croswell-Lexington) improved to 13-7 by tossing a one-hit shutout.  She struck out eight and walked one, while facing just 18 batters.
 
Kate Czoschke (0-9) started for Parkside and allowed four earned runs on six hits in two-plus innings.  She did not record a strikeout or a walk, but surrendered two home runs.
 
Allison Hausl pitched the final three innings and also allowed four earned runs on eight hits.  She struck out two and did not walk a batter.
 
LEADING THE WARRIORS
 
McClounie and Buchanan each had three hits and with McClounie driving in three.  Kressler contributed two hits and two RBI, while both Messina and Dodge had two hits apiece and an RBI.
 
LEADING THE RANGERS
 
Morgan Sikon had the lone Wisconsin-Parkside hit.
 
GAME TWO RECAP
 
The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a leadoff single by Kellie Fenza, a sacrifice bunt and an RBI double by Adrien Hall.
 
Wayne State knotted the score at 1-1 in the fourth as McClounie smacked her third home run of the day on a 2-0 pitch.
 
In the top of the seventh, Dodge had a one-out single and moved to second on a single by Buchanan.  After a pop out, Psenicka had an infield single to load the bases.  McClounie drilled a 2-1 offering past the third baseman scoring Dodge.
 
In the bottom of the seventh, Jessica Crull had a leadoff single with the rain falling.  After a sacrifice bunt and a strikeout, Guitar walked the next batter on five pitches.  Down 0-2 in the count, then fouling off a pitch, Parkside's Morgan Moore singled into shallow center field to tie the game at 2-2.  On the very next pitch, Jessica Miklos singled up the middle scoring the winning run.
 
IN THE CIRCLE
 
Guitar (13-8) allowed three earned runs on five hits in 6.2 innings.  She struck out seven and walked two.
 
Alyssa McClelland (1-1) limited WSU to two runs on seven hits in seven innings.  She struck out one and walked one.
 
LEADING THE WARRIORS
 
McClounie had two hits and both RBI.
 
LEADING THE RANGERS
 
Five different Parkside batters had hits, with Hall's double being the lone extra-base hit.
