RIO GRANDE, OH - After a disappointing 8-0 loss in game one of the day, UNOH softball rebounded to win an error-filled nightcap, 12-9.
Dani Keighley recorded the only hit of game one for the Racers as Rio Grande scored five in the third, two in the fourth and the final run in the fifth to complete the run-rule. Carlie Hanes (0-2) took the loss after going three innings with four runs off seven hits with one walk and one strikeout. Kiya Benschoter finished the final inning and two thirds giving up three runs off seven hit with one walk and one strikeout.
After the Red Storm opened the scoring in game two with two runs in the first, UNOH exploded for nine in the second. Two errors and a wild pitch aided the seven hit at-bat that consisted of five singles and two doubles. Rio Grande got one run back in the third and the game entered the fifth 9-3. Two singles followed by three walks and an error gave the Racers two more but the Red Storm returned the favor in the home half thanks to a wild pitch and a error. The game trends continued into the sixth with UNOH committing two more errors adding a hit batter to the list as Rio cut into the lead with four runs. A final error gave the Racers their final run in the seventh before Carlie Hanes struck out the side to cap the win.
Anna Ankney, Zoe Johnson, Hailee Edgell and Alexis D'Alexander each registered a multi-hit game. Holly Alvoid led the team with two RBI. Karsyn McGlothen (1-1) earned the win after four and two-thirds innings of work. McGlothen gave up five runs, three earned, off seven hits with a walk and a strikeout. Kiya Benschoter tossed two thirds of an inning giving up four runs, one earned, off three hits. Carlie Hanes struck out four of the six batters she faced to pick up her first career save.
UNOH heads to Kentucky this weekend to face (RV) Campbellsville Saturday and Lindsey Wilson on Sunday.
