GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Purdue Fort Wayne softball team picked up a 4-1 win at Green Bay on Saturday (April 27) behind three RBIs from McKenna Minton.
Minton put the Mastodons up two in the first inning when her single up the middle scored Grace Hollopeter and Bailey Manos.
Green Bay scored its only run of the contest in the third inning thanks to three singles.
Up 2-1 in the sixth, the Mastodons put an insurance run on the scoreboard when Minton had a sacrifice fly to bring Manos home. Manos had been pushed to third two at bats prior after a double from Aglaia Rudd. An inning later, Hollopeter's triple brought Brayden Lickey across to make it a 4-1 contest.
Alanah Jones picked up her second win of the weekend with a seven-strikeout performance against the Phoenix without giving up an earned run. Ava Schill took the loss in the complete game, giving up all four earned runs.
Minton went 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Manos was 2-for-4 at the plate.
