SOFTBALL SWEPT IN OPENING DAY OF USC UPSTATE INVITATIONAL

The Jags fell to Canisius and USC Upstate on day one of the invite

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The IU Indy softball team opened the USC Upstate Invitational on Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14 but there wasn't much love for the Jags as they fell in back-to-back games. Kendal Calvert led the Jags at the plate with three hits in the two games combined.
 
In the opening game, IU Indy attempted a comeback but fell short against Canisius, 3-2.
 
After three scoreless innings from both sides, the Griffs jumped on the scoreboard first with a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning, 1-0. They extended their lead in the bottom of the sixth frame with two runs on three hits, 3-0.
 
IU Indy attempted to comeback from the 3-0 deficit in the top of the seventh, but they came up just short. Kinsey Pfeiffer reached base on a walk, Piper Stephens then entered to run for Pfeiffer. With two outs and Stephens on third, freshman Reese Rosenbaum singled to third base to put runners at first and third. Isabelle Waggner then singled to left field to score Stephens and Rosenbaum. IU Indy was unable to plate another run and fell, 3-2.
 
Calvert and Rosenbaum each added two hits in the first game of the day while Paige McPhearson and Waggner each added one hit. Lily Roush (L, 1-1) took the loss in the circle for the Jags, giving up three runs on four hits with four strikeouts in 6.0 innings of work.
 
Game two also did not go the Jags' way as they fell in five innings, 13-2. IU Indy's defensive miscues played an important role as the Jags committed six errors. USC Upstate took the early lead in the first inning with three runs on two hits which ultimately proved to be enough as the Jags plated just two runs.
 
After a three-run first for the Spartans, the Jags kept it close, cutting the lead to one with two runs in the second inning. Tori Candler started things off with a single to short. Molly Kable then knocked the first home run of the season over the center field fence to score Candler and put the Jags on the board at 3-2.
 
IU Indy was unable to score again as the Spartans went on to seal the win at 13-2 with three runs in the bottom of the second, two runs in the third and five in the fourth frame.
 
McPhearson collected to hits in the second game as Calvert, Candler, Kable, Lexi Gordon and Stephens each added one hit. Alexa Holman (L, 0-2) took the loss in the circle giving up seven runs (four earned) on four hits in 2.0 innings of work.
 
IU Indy will run it back tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 15 as they face Canisius at 11:00 AM and USC Upstate at 4:00 PM.
