Methodist Softball Drops Twinbill to Randolph-Macon

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The Monarchs dropped a pair of games on Thursday afternoon, 8-0 and 4-2, to the visiting Yellow Jackets of Randolph-Macon College.

The Yellow Jackets (13-5) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Diane McDaniel scored the first run of the game on a Monarch attempt to catch Brandi Mulvena stealing second and two batters later, Mulvena scored on a passed ball.

After five innings of scoreless play, Randolph-Macon exploded for six runs in the top of the seventh. A single up the middle scored pinch-runner Cori Spartana and an error by Methodist (4-14) allowed Casey Abernethy to cross the plate. Back-to-back singles plated two more runs for a 6-0 lead before Sierra Ford sent a two-RBI double to left field for the eventual winning 8-0 score.

Natalie High finished 2-for-3 in game one and Kelsey Harrington was 1-for-3.

McDaniel went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored and Ford was 2-for-4 with two RBI.

Emily Hester (1-3) took the loss, tossing the first 6.1 innings and allowing eight runs (5 ER) on nine hits. Christine Bowman finished out the final 0.2 innings and allowed two hits.

Nelda Bagley (5-3) earned the win for the Yellow Jackets, tossing all 7.0 innings, allowing just three hits with six strikeouts.

Down 3-0 in the bottom of the third, the Monarchs came within one, 3-2, in the bottom of the third. Nicole Heinrich sent a lead-off single up the middle and advanced to second on a bunt single by Morgan Faircloth. After two outs, High sent a base knock up the middle, scoring Heinrich and Benge, who pinch ran for Faircloth.

After two innings of scoreless play, Randolph-Macon added on an insurance run in the top of the sixth, scoring on a single by Skylar Toth.

High went 1-for-3 with two RBI and Heinrich was 1-for-2 with one run scored.

Heinrich (2-4) was saddled with the loss after all 7.0 innings in the circle, allowing four runs on nine hits.
