GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Purdue Fort Wayne softball team picked up a win over Green Bay on Friday (April 26) thanks to an offensive explosion that saw the Mastodons score 19 runs in the two contests.
GAME 1: Purdue Fort Wayne 9, Green Bay 0
From the opening at bat, Purdue Fort Wayne jumped out in front and never looked back in a 9-0 victory in the first game of the weekend.
Grace Hollopeter ripped a home run over the left center wall in the first at bat of the contest. She has done this in four of the last five games.
Later on in the frame, the 'Dons added another run when Bailey Manos scored off the bat of Brooke Wintlend. Two innings later, Aglaia Rudd reached on a fielding error and Hollopeter scored her second run of the day. After that, Brooke Lickey grounded out, but Manos scored to give the 'Dons a 4-0 lead.
In the fourth, Hollopeter had another RBI on a single to the left side to bring Brayden Lickey home. Two innings later, Brayden Lickey did the same for McKenna Minton to score.
To put the icing on the proverbial cake, Kennedy Peckinpaugh her first home run of her career in a pinch hit in the seventh inning. Brayden Lickey added another run with a single to right field to score her sister.
Alanah Jones put together another impressive pitching performance to pick up the win. She struck out 14 batters in 6.0 innings pitched and gave up just three hits. Alyson Quinlan finished up the game with eight pitches in the seventh inning, finishing with a line of one strikeout in 1.0 inning without yielding a hit.
Ava Schill took the loss for Green Bay in just 2.0 innings pitched.
GAME 2: Green Bay 11, Purdue Fort Wayne 10
Green Bay used three runs over the final two innings to take game two against the Mastodons.
Green Bay jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first inning, but Purdue Fort Wayne evened it up an inning later behind the bat of Hollopeter. With bases loaded after Gwen McMenemy's single scored Brayden Lickey, Hollopeter ripped a grand slam over the left center wall.
The fun of the game did not stop there. Green Bay scored two in the second, but then the Mastodons scored four in the fourth. Rudd doubled to score Hollopeter, Wintlend singled to score Manos, then Brayden Lickey singled to bring Rudd home. Lickey found her way home on a ground out shortly after to give the 'Dons a 10-8 lead.
Green Bay responded with a run in the sixth on a sacrifice fly then two in the seventh thanks to two Mastodon errors.
Jones was credited with the loss despite not allowing an earned run. There were only three earned runs given up by the Mastodon pitching staff. Martha Miller got the win despite eight earned runs.
Purdue Fort Wayne moves to 13-30 and 8-12 in the Horizon League with the split while Green Bay moves to 8-35, 3-17. The two teams will meet again on Saturday for the rubber game of the series.
