MARTIN, Tenn. - Purdue Fort Wayne dropped a pair of contests on Saturday (Feb. 22), falling to Wright State 3-2 and UT Martin 2-1 in the Huddle House Classic.
Sunday's games against Wright State and UT Martin have been moved up. The game against the Raiders will begin at 9 a.m. ET, while the 'Dons will take on the host Skyhawks at 1 p.m. ET.
GAME 1
Despite taking a 2-0 lead in the second inning, Purdue Fort Wayne dropped the first game of the day in a 3-2 loss to future league foe Wright State.
After Alise Hale got on base with a single up the middle, Camryn Mosher blasted a long ball over the left-center wall, for her first homer and first RBIs of the year.
Wright State got on the board in the third, loading the bases and pushing in a pair of runs. The fourth and fifth innings were scoreless on both sides, but Purdue Fort Wayne stranded two in the fourth. Morganne Denny had a single up the right field line, Rachel Everson reached on a fielder's choice and Mosher had a single. Defensively for these two innings, the Mastodons got the job done, as Wright State went three-up, three-down in both.
The Raiders scored the eventual game-winner in the sixth inning as they had a single up the middle that scored a runner from second base.
Lauren McConnell took the loss to fall to 0-4. Carly Turner got the win for Wright State in her first game of record this season. Wright State moved to 1-5.

Purdue Fort Wayne got a runner in scoring position in the second, as Alaina White reached on an error and Brooke Imel drew a walk. The 'Dons got out of trouble in the second, holding a runner on third after two straight ground outs.
The Skyhawks scored their second run in the bottom of the fourth, with a pair of singles. Imel had a double in the top of the sixth, but she was left stranded as Skyhawks caught a foul ball to end the frame. The 'Dons found a spark in the top of the seventh, as Madeline swart found second base on a fielding error. Olivia Stansbury was able to craft a single into center field, scoring Swart, and bringing the 'Dons within one. Despite Stansbury moving into scoring position on the following at bat, Purdue Fort Wayne would not score again on the afternoon.
