Alanah Jones Has Special Performance in 9-0 Win Over Detroit Mercy
4/19/2024 5:22:00 PM | Softball
DETROIT - Alanah Jones of the Purdue Fort Wayne softball team finished with 14 strikeouts with just two hits allowed on Friday (April 19) in the Mastodons' 9-0 win over Detroit Mercy. Jones struck out 12 consecutive batters en route to the victory.
After giving up a single and a walk in her first two batters faced, Jones struck out the next 12 Titans. None of those 12 were even able to get a full count against Jones. Jones' two hits allowed tie a career-best mark in complete games. Her 14 K's is one shy of her personal best, which came last weekend against IUPUI. She now owns the Nos. 1 and 2 spots in the single-game strikeout records list.
In addition to her 14 strikeouts, she was 2-for-2 from the batter's box with a run.
Grace Hollopeter set the tone from the opening moments of Friday's game. She hit a home run from the leadoff spot in the first inning. This is the second time she has done so this week.
From there, Gwen McMenemy singled in the second and drew a walk in the fourth to score the next two runs. The 'Dons added two more in the fourth on wild pitches.
In the fifth, Brooke Wintlend battled through an eight-pitch at bat and sent a long ball over the left field wall. Shortly after, Brooke Lickey doubled to bring McKenna Minton home.
An inning later, Aglaia Rudd doubled to score Bailey Manos, then Wintlend had another RBI with a single through the right side. This put the Mastodons up enough to end the game early.
Rudd and Minton both finished 2-for-4. Jones and Lickey were both 2-for-2. Wintlend and McMenemy had two RBIs each.
Jones picked up her sixth win of the season in the complete game. Olivia Warrington of Detroit Mercy was credited with the loss.
Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 10-30, 5-11 in the Horizon League. Detroit Mercy falls to 3-31, 2-11. These two teams will meet again on Saturday (April 20) for a doubleheader at noon.
