Game Recap: Softball |

Softball splits again on Sunday

LA VERNE, Calif. – For the third day in a row, the Whitworth softball team came away with a split of a non-conference doubleheader against a Southern California opponent.  On Sunday at the University of La Verne, the host Leopards won the opener 2-1, but the Pirates won the second game 8-0 in five innings.

Momi Lyman tossed a two-hitter and drove in a run in the finale for Whitworth (3-3).  La Verne is now 4-3.

The Pirates are scheduled to host Pacific Lutheran next weekend in the Northwest Conference-opening series.  But those games are dependent on weather and field conditions.

Game 1: La Verne 2, Whitworth 1
All the scoring came in the first inning of what turned into a taut pitcher's dual won by the Leopards.

The Pirates' first two batters of the game led to the first run.  Haley Montoya opened with a single, followed by Mattea Nelson's RBI double.  Whitworth would not score again against La Verne's Jocelyn Robrertson.

Similarly, Ashley Rodriguez opened with a single for the Leopards against Pirate starting pitcher Corinne Vasiloff.  Haylee Hsieh followed with a triple that tied the game.  Erika Garcia's infield single to shortstop put the Leopards ahead 2-1.  ULV would not score again.

Vasiloff kept the Pirates alive by getting a strikeout with two outs and the bases loaded with Leopards in the bottom of the sixth.  She allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings, falling to 2-1. She struck out five batters.

Robertson (3-1) limited the Pirates to five hits.  Montoya had two of those.

Game 2: Whitworth 8, La Verne 0 (5 inn.)
Lyman dominated in the circle and also helped her own cause with an RBI as the Pirates earned the split of the doubleheader.

Whitworth jumped to a 6-0 lead after two innings.  Julia Dillon and Heather Menzer each had RBI singles in the three-run first.  Nelson's two-run single started the three-run second inning, capped by Menzer's second RBI of the game.

The Pirates opened their eight-run lead in the fifth, scoring on Lyman's RBI double and a pinch-hit double by Katie McKinnis.

Lyman (1-1) got her first win of the season with five strong innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out three.

Rachel Rubio (0-2) started for La Verne and gave up six runs (four earned) on eight hits.
