SOFTBALL FALLS IN BACK-TO-BACK GAMES AT YOUNGSTOWN STATE

The Jags and Penguins will close out the three-game series with a 1:00 PM game tomorrow

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The IUPUI softball team will continue to fight for their spot in the Horizon League Tournament after falling in back-to-back games at Youngstown State on Thursday. The Jags wrap up the three-game series with a single game tomorrow at 1:00 PM.
 
In the opening game of the doubleheader the Jags totaled nine hits, but the Penguins knocked three home runs to earn the victory, 8-4.
 
Youngstown State started off the game with three runs in the bottom of the first inning, including a solo home run from Lydia Wilkerson,  to take a quick 3-0 lead.
 
IUPUI got on the board with a solo home run from Maicey Bedrick in the top of the third inning, 3-1. The Penguins countered in the bottom half of the third with two more runs and their second home run of the game.
 
The Jags continued to fight, cutting the lead back to two with two runs in the fifth inning. Kendal Calvert doubled down the left field line to score Bedrick. Kennedy Cowan was then thrown out caught stealing but it allowed Calvert to score from third, 5-3.
 
Youngstown State added a run on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth to extend their lead to 6-3.
 
IUPUI scored one more run in the sixth with an RBI single from Rachael Gregory before the Penguins put the game out of reach with two runs in the bottom half of the sixth frame, 8-4.
 
Alexa Holman took the loss in the circle for IUPUI, giving up six earned runs on 10 hits in six innings of work. Calvert led the Jags at the plate, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run. Bedrick also added two hits with two runs and an RBI. Morgan Gilbert, Cowan, Victoria Sivert and Gregory each added one hit in game one.
 
Game two was a pitching duel with both pitchers holding the game scoreless until the Penguins walked-it-off with one run in the bottom of the seventh, 1-0.
 
With the bases loaded and two outs, Wilkerson hit an RBI single to right center to seal the win for the Penguins.
 
Carly Metcalf took the loss in the circle giving up just one run on five hits with four strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. The Jags recorded just two hits with Gilbert and Paige McPhearson each collecting a single.
 
With the two losses, the Jags fall to seventh in the Horizon League standings, just behind Purdue Fort Wayne. They will fight to get back into conference tournament contention with a single game against the Penguins tomorrow at 1:00 PM.
