FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne softball dropped its series opener against Robert Morris 3-2Â on Friday (April 5) at Warrior Park.
All the scoring in the contest happened in the first two innings. The Mastodons got three hits in the first inning to jump out to a 2-0 lead. From the lead-off spot, Bailey Manos singled then stole second to get into scoring position. Grace Hollopeter sent a long ball into right center for a double, then Aglaia Rudd did the same. Manos scored on the second double, then Epiphany Hang brought Hollopeter home with a sacrifice fly to left field.
The Mastodon lead did not last long, as the Colonials responded with all three of their runs in the next half-inning. It was all chip damage against the 'Dons. The Colonials had four singles and a sacrifice bunt. RMU scored the go-ahead run on an error.
From that point on, no player from either team made it past second base.
