APR.
2 — Marian Able To Get By Goshen In Game Two 4-5
After
losing 0-5 in Game One, Leafs battle back late in Game Two
but fall short |
Goshen, IN — After being postponed
last Saturday due to snow and rain, the Leafs traveled to Marian
College Monday April, 4 to play in beautiful weather conditions.
Trying to capture their elusive first win, they fell just short
in Game Two after battling back in the sixth and seventh innings.
Game One started off much like many others have this season. Goshen
was able to hold Marian scoreless through two innings, but was
also unable to score themselves. Marian got things rolling with
two doubles and two Goshen errors. The Knights scored three runs
in the inning. It looked as though the Leafs might also get something
going in the inning as senior Tara Haynes was able to lead off
by drawing a walk and freshman Erica Weaver moved her to second
with a sacrifice fly. However, that was all the offense they could
generate that inning. Marian would score two more runs in the fifth
inning, making the final 0-5.
In Game Two Marian scored a run in both the second and third innings,
and three in the fourth making a comeback seem distant for the
Leafs. However, Haynes was able to lead off the fifth inning with
a single. Weaver followed her with a single of her own and then
freshman Erin Layman moved them around to second and third with
a sacrifice bunt. Freshman Faith Borrell collected an RBI by knocking
in Haynes with a single to center field, closing the gap to a 1-5
score.
Freshman Brandie Dalton was hit by a pitch in on the first pitch
of the sixth inning. Sophomore Stacie Scott got a single with her
hit to shallow left field and Haynes followed with a bunt single
giving Weaver the opportunity to push some runs across the plate
as she came up to bat with bases loaded. She was able to capitalize
on that opportunity with a base-clearing double. Goshen had battled
back making the score 4-5 heading in to the seventh inning. Unfortunately
Marian was able to retire the first three Goshen batters of the
seventh, meaning Goshen would not get another chance to prolong
the game.
Goshen will next travel to Bethel College on Tuesday to take on
the Pilots. Game time is set to begin at 3 p.m.
