Softball Falls Short in Pair of Saturday Contests
February 12, 2022 | Softball
ROSEMONT, Ill. - - It was a tough Saturday for the Ball State softball team which suffered a 5-2 loss to Murray State and a 7-5 setback to Seattle in the DePaul Tournament at the Rosemont Dome.
Â
In Saturday's opener, the Cardinals (1-3) fell behind by five, giving up two runs in the second, one in the third and two more in the fifth.Â
Â
Ball State would try to mount a comeback in the top of the sixth, as junior third baseman Haley Wynn and senior center fielder Faith Hensley opened the inning with back-to-back hits. Wynn would score on a third straight hit from senior second baseman Amaia Daniel, while Hensley came around to score on a two-out wild pitch.
Â
Those were the only two runs the Cardinals could muster in the game, despite out-hitting the Racers (1-2) by a 9-to-6 margin in the contest. Hensley and Daniel led the way with two hits each.
Â
The nightcap saw the Cardinals once again fall behind early, as Seattle scored two runs in each of the first two innings to pull ahead 4-0.
Â
Ball State's bats came to life in the top of the fourth, however, as back-to-back two-out singles from sophomore shortstop Kayla Lissy and Daniel set up a three-run home run from redshirt freshman catcher McKayla Timmons.
Â
Unfortunately, the Redhawks (4-0) answered with three in the bottom of the frame to reclaim its four-run lead.
Â
Timmons would pick up her fourth RBI of the contest in the top of the sixth, following a one-out single by Lissy with a two-out double to left-center.Â
Â
Things also looked to get interesting in the top of the seventh, as redshirt junior catcher Jazmyne Armendariz open the inning with a solo shot to center field. However, that was the only hit BSU would get in the inning, ending the game at 7-5.Â
Â
The Ball State softball team closes play in the DePaul Tournament at the Rosemont Dome Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. CT versus Western Illinois.Â
