FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Purdue Fort Wayne softball team dropped the first of a three-game Horizon League series against Northern Kentucky 4-0 on Friday (April 21) at Warrior Park.
The Mastodons and Norse were tangled in a scoreless stymie through four innings. Both teams had two hits each through that point.
NKU broke open the scoring in the fifth with a walk, single and triple to score a pair. In the sixth, the Norse scored one more on a first-pitch, lead-off solo home run. In the seventh, three singles were enough to score another.
Tori Countryman and Taryn Jenkins had the two hits for the 'Dons. Countryman had a single in the second and Jenkins had a single in the third. Jenkins extends her on-base streak to 24 consecutive games.
Alanah Jones took the loss despite striking out 10 NKU batters. She threw all 7.0 innings. Lauryn Hicks went the distance as well, picking up the win to move to 6-7.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 16-25, 8-7 Horizon League while Northern Kentucky moves to 15-27, 10-7. These two teams will meet again on Saturday (April 22) for a doubleheader at 1 p.m. at the Purdue Fort Wayne Softball Field.
