2/18/2023 5:31:00 PM | Softball
ATLANTA – The Purdue Fort Wayne softball team picked up two wins on Saturday (Feb. 18), defeating Eastern Kentucky 2-1 and Rhode Island 12-3 in the Bob Heck Classic.
GAME 1 – Purdue Fort Wayne 2, Eastern Kentucky 1
Freshman Alanah Jones was dominant in every aspect of game one, pitching all 7.0 innings, striking out five batters and knocking in the game-tying home run in the third.
In the fourth inning, Eastern Kentucky had runners on second and third, but Jones was money from the dish. She struck out back-to-back batters to end the inning and strand the two runners.
The two teams remained tied until the sixth, which was when the Mastodons scored the go-ahead run. Taryn Jenkins doubled to right center to start the inning, then stole third. Then Brooke Wintlend brought her home on a sacrifice fly to left.
The Mastodons closed out the game by catching two foul balls, then Taylor Warne caught a fly ball in left field.
Jones moved to 2-2 with the win. EKU fell to 5-3.
GAME 2 – Purdue Fort Wayne 12, Rhode Island 3
The Mastodons exploded offensively in the second game of the day, plating 12 runs. This was the most runs in a game for Purdue Fort Wayne since February 14, 2020.
Jenkins finished with five RBIs, which marks the fifth-most in a single-game in Mastodon history.
Grace Hollopeter sent a ball over the center field wall for a two-run shot. This was her fourth home run in the last four games.
Warne got her first RBI of the season in the second inning, bringing Wintlend home. In the next at bat, Bailey Manos singled to bring Brayden Lickey around to score.
In the third inning, Jenkins hit a 3-run homer, Warne put a ball in play that saw two Mastodons score after an error, then Hollopeter brought Manos home after a dropped fly ball. This put the Mastodons up 10-0 and in full control of the game.
Rhode Island scored three runs in the fourth, but that was the entirety of their scoring output.
Jenkins hit a second home run in the bottom of the fourth, another two-run shot. This was the icing on the cake, as Alyson Quinlan came in to pitch the final inning of the game. She did not give up a hit in her 1.0 inning of work. Gracie Brinkerhoff picked up her first win of the year in 4.0 innings pitched.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 3-7. Rhode Island is now 0-3.
