Softball Splits At Cedarville

WSU will begin GLIAC play on Wednesday.

CEDARVILLE, Ohio – The Wayne State University softball team (7-1 overall) concluded its season-opening eight-game road trip on Monday afternoon with a doubleheader split at Cedarville University (11-7 overall).  The Warriors won the opener 4-1, while the Yellow Jackets took the nightcap 4-0.  The game two setback ended WSU's seven-game winning streak.

GAME ONE RECAP
The Warriors took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first.  Sophomore centerfielder Brooke Nadonly (Clinton Twp., Mich. / L'Anse Creuse) had a leadoff single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior second baseman Rainey Psenicka (Guelph, Ont.).  Nadolny advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single up the middle by senior designated player Amy Claydon (Cambridge, Ont.).

WSU extended its lead in the second with a pair of runs.  Senior first baseman Emma Adams (Rockwood, Ont.) had a leadoff single and senior third baseman Rose Myers (Rochester Hills, Mich. / Rochester) followed with a walk.  Senior left fielder Emily Dodge (Burlington, Ont.) singled to right plating Adams.  Nadonly singled through the left side scoring Myers to make it 3-0.

CU scored in the bottom of the sixth as pinch-hitter Bella Ross drew a walk after nearly being called out on strikes three pitches earlier.  Pinch-runner Carrie Jespersen stole second, went to third on a single by Kaley Clark and scored on a hit by Mariah Wallace.

Wayne State answered in the top of the seventh.  Senior catcher Brooke Turkalj (St. Jacobs, Ont.) had an infield single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Breanna Paolatto (Belle River, Ont.).  After a pop out, Adams singled to left center scoring Turkalj.

IN THE CIRCLE
Junior Paige Ameel (Marysville, Mich.) went the distance to improve to 4-0.  She struck out seven and walked one while allowing one earned run on five hits.

Casey Bertke (4-3) started for the Yellow Jackets and allowed three earned runs on five hits with two walks in one-plus inning of work.  Adaline Ziehmer came on in relief and pitched the final six innings.  She allowed one earned run on five hits with four strikeouts to two walks.

LEADING THE WARRIORS
Nadolny, Turkalj, Claydon and Adams each had two hits.  Turkalj reached base all four times with two hits and two walks, while Myers reached base three times on a hit and two walks.

LEADING THE YELLOW JACKETS
Clark had two hits, while Wallace had an RBI.

GAME TWO RECAP
Cedarville scored the only runs of the game in the bottom of the third as a double and two singles produced the game's first run.  After a walk loaded the bases, CU's Arica Flaugher grounded a three-run double to the left center fence.

IN THE CIRCLE
Freshman Alexis Bonk (New Hudson, Mich. / South Lyon) started for WSU and allowed four earned runs in 2.1 innings on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  Nadolny pitched the final 3.2 innings allowing two hits with two strikeouts.  She retired nine of the final 10 batters she faced after allowing Flaugher's bases-clearing double.

Bertke tossed a complete-game shutout for Cedarville scattering seven WSU singles.  She struck out three and walked one.

LEADING THE WARRIORS
Seven different WSU batters had a single.

LEADING THE YELLOW JACKETS
Five different CU batters had a hit, with Flaugher driving in three.

UP NEXT
Wayne State is scheduled to begin a six-game homestand with the start of GLIAC play on Wednesday against Purdue Northwest.  First pitch is slated for 3:30 PM.  It will be WSU's first home game since April 27, 2019, a span of 696 days without a home game.
