Softball Concludes Spring Break Trip With Two Losses

Warriors fall 2-1 to Saint Anselm, and 7-4 to Le Moyne.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- The Wayne State University softball team (7-9 overall) concluded its 2022 spring break trip with 2-1 setback to Saint Anselm (6-7 overall) and a 7-4 loss to Le Moyne (8-8 overall).  After going 2-2 at the Lewis Dome Invitational, the Warriors went 5-7 in Florida.

GAME ONE RECAP
Kylie Fitzpatrick, the Hawks leadoff batter in the bottom of the first, sent a 3-2 pitch over the left-center field fence giving Saint Anselm an early 1-0 lead.

SAC extended its lead to 2-0 in the bottom of the sixth on a two-out single by Kate Irwin.  She stole second and scored on a single by Bailey Cain.

Wayne State tried to rally in the seventh as junior outfielder Gabby Kaple (Galion, Ohio) had a leadoff single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore outfielder Abby Favela (Riverside, Ill. / Riverside-Brookfield).  A single by senior second baseman Rainey Psenicka (Guelph, Ont.) put runners on the corners.  Kaple scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of sophomore shortstop Shelby Miller (Georgetown, Ont.), but a ground out ended the contest.

IN THE CIRCLE
Senior Paige Ameel (Marysville, Mich.) allowed two earned runs on four hits in six innings.  She struck out four and did not walk a batter.

Haile Hicks (6-1) permitted just one earned run on six hits in a complete game effort.  She struck out nine and walked one.

LEADING THE WARRIORS
Kaple and Psenicka each had two hits.

LEADING THE HAWKS
Fitzpatrick and Cain each had a hit and an RBI.

GAME TWO RECAP
The Dolphins scored four times in the top of the first on four hits, three WSU miscues, plus a walk, a wild pitch and a passed ball with three of those runs being unearned.

Wayne State cut its deficit in half in the bottom of the third as Miller reached on an error and freshman outfielder/first baseman Mady Ruczynski (Richmond, Mich. / Armada) belted her first collegiate home run.

Le Moyne answered back with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth on two hits, an RBI ground out and a wild pitch.

The Warriors pulled within 6-3 in the bottom of the fourth as junior outfielder Emily Guzzo (London, Ont.) had a leadoff single and advanced to second when junior catcher Becky Hodder (Orangeville, Ont.) reached on a fielding error.  After back-to-back fielder's choices, WSU had runners at the corners.  Psenicka singled to plate Hodder.

Wayne State scored again in the fifth as Ruczynski went all the way to second on a Le Moyne error.  With two outs, Guzzo and Hodder each had infield hits to load the bases.  Ruczynski scored the Warriors fourth run as Kaple reached on an error.

The Dolphins completed the scoring in the sixth on a walk, a  wild pitch, a ground out and an RBI single.

The teams combined for 19 hits and 12 errors.

IN THE CIRCLE
Graduate student Emil Karas (Macomb Twp., Mich. / Utica Henry Ford II) went the distance for WSU.  She allowed seven runs (four earned) on 10 hits in seven innings of work.  She struck out one and walked two.
