4/13/2024 7:22:00 PM | Softball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Bailey Manos went 6-for-10 with five RBIs in Purdue Fort Wayne's Saturday (April 13) doubleheader split with IUPUI. Her day included the first home run of her collegiate career.
In addition to Manos' career day, Alanah Jones threw a school record 15 strikeouts.
Game 1: Purdue Fort Wayne 8, IUPUI 7 (12 inn.)
Manos' first collegiate home run came in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Mastodons a walk-off victory.
Trailing by one after surrendering a run in the top of the inning, Gwen McMenemy reached on an error to start the Mastodons' half of the 12th. After the first out, Manos stepped in and won the game by clearing the fence to the left of center for the first time in her career.
After IUPUI took the lead in the opening frame, the 'Dons responded in the third inning with a two-run home run from Grace Hollopeter. The Jaguars tied it up in the fourth, but the 'Dons re-took the lead in the fifth with Hollopeter's sacrifice fly. With two down, Brooke Wintlend plated two insurance runs with a pinch hit single.
IUPUI erased a three-run lead in the seventh inning on two errors to tie the game at five. Each team scored a run in the ninth inning. Purdue Fort Wayne's run came when Brayden Lickey legged out an infield error and McKenna Minton scored from third.
Alanah Jones (4-12) got the win for the 'Dons. In 12 innings of work, she allowed just three earned runs, one walk, and struck out 15, which is a new career high. She set new school Division I records in strikeouts (15), looking strikeouts (7), innings pitched (12), and batters faced (53).
Alex Holman threw 11.1 innings in the loss for IUPUI, allowing six earned runs on ten hits and three walks.
Game 2: IUPUI 8, Purdue Fort Wayne 7
Manos went 3-for-4 and drove in three runs, but the Mastodons came up just short in game two.
The 'Dons scored three runs in the second inning to snag an early lead. A sac bunt was overthrown to allow McKenna Minton to score the first run of the game. A second error on the next play brought Tori Countryman home before Grace Hollopeter's double scored Brooke Lickey.
Purdue Fort Wayne tacked on three more runs in the fourth when Manos' double brought home both Brooke and Brayden Lickey. Manos would score after the next batter, Aglaia Rudd, singled up the middle.
After IUPUI scored six over the next two innings to tie the game, it was Manos again who broke the tie with an RBI single to plate Gwen McMenemy. The Jaguars scored two in the seventh to take the lead and ultimately win the game. The Mastodons had the winning run at the plate, but were unable to bring her home.
Jasmin Speth (1-4) got the win for IUPUI after throwing 5.2 innings of relief. Kayla Roberts (1-1) took the loss with two runs allowed in one inning in the circle.
Purdue Fort Wayne is now 8-28 and 3-11 in the Horizon League. IUPUI is 10-29 and 6-9 in league play. The rubber game of the series is set for 1:00 p.m. on Sunday (April 14).
