MUNCIE, Ind. - Kelly Pevely connected on her first career home run and Avery Nelson added her second of the season, but it wasn't enough as the IPFW softball team dropped a doubleheader to Ball State 8-2 and 19-4 in five innings.
Nelson led the Mastodons on the day going 3-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBI. Pevely went 2-for-4 and drove in two runs. Emily Olszewski and Prestlee Cooper each had a pair of hits on the afternoon. Caitlyn DeLong added the other IPFW RBI.
Ball State scored first in the opener with two runs in the bottom of the second on a single. IPFW answered with a run in the top of the third. Olszewski led off the inning with a single over the head of the BSU shortstop. After stealing second and moving to third on a groundout, Olszewski scored on a single to left off the bat of Pevely.
The Cardinals added to their lead in the bottom half of the third, scoring three runs, two of which came with two outs in the inning. They added another run in the fifth on a solo home run.
With one out in the top of the sixth, Nelson singled up the middle for IPFW. After a sacrifice bunt, pinch runner Hailey Gukeisen scored on a check swing single by Cooper and a Cardinal error. Ball State added two more runs in the bottom of the inning on a single and a solo home run.
Kaitlyn Biere took the loss for the 'Dons, throwing a complete game while striking out a season-high seven batters.
