MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Robert Morris won two softball games over Purdue Fort Wayne on Friday (April 18) 6-0 and 6-4.
GAME 1: Robert Morris 6, Purdue Fort Wayne 0
Robert Morris was particularly effective from the circle in game one, holding the Mastodons scoreless for the first time since March 1, and just the second time all season.
Addison Zimpleman broke up the no-hitter in the fifth inning when she doubled to center field. Grace Hollopeter and Brooke Lickey later added a single each.
Robert Morris took the lead in the second inning with a solo home run and never trailed.
Alanah Jones threw 3.2 innings and recorded four strikeouts. Gracie Brinkerhoff threw 2.1 innings of relief with three K's. Madison DeVault picked up the complete game victory with 11 strikeouts.
GAME 2: Robert Morris 6, Purdue Fort Wayne 4
Zimpleman's two home runs highlighted game two for the Mastodons. She had a two-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the sixth, both over the center field wall and onto the massive hill past RMU's field.
Zimpleman's two-run shot in the third put the 'Dons on the board first. Hollopeter singled up the middle three ABs later to bring home Minton, who had singled on shortly before. This put the 'Dons up 3-0 on the Colonials before RMU started its comeback.
RMU scored one in the fourth then three in the fifth on a three-run homer. In the sixth, Zimpleman responded with another homer of her own to tie it at four. From there though, RMU methodically singled its way to the go-ahead runs.
Freshman Aubrey Zachary threw 4.2 innings with two strikeouts in a no-decision. Jones threw 1.1 with two strikeouts and suffered the loss. Â Kaitlyn Molitoris got the win in 3.0 innings of relief.
Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 13-22 and 9-8 in Horizon League play. RMU improved to 22-13, 14-5. The two squads will meet again on Saturday (April 19) for one game at noon.
