Big Fourth Inning in Game 2 Led to Monarchs Splitting with Pride

GREENSBORO, N.C.  Methodist softball traveled to Latham Park on Wednesday afternoon for a couple of USA South Athletic Conference match-ups against Greensboro College. The Pride won the first game 6-0 before the Monarchs took the second contest 8-4 for a series split.  

THE ESSENTIALS
Final scores: Greensboro def. Methodist 6-0; Methodist def. Greensboro 8-4
Records: Methodist 13-16 (USA South 5-3); Greensboro 18-8 (6-2)
Location: Latham Park; Greensboro, North Carolina

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Methodist faced some tough pitching in Game 1 against Greensboro starter Cheyanne Cox. Cox threw a complete game shutout giving up four hits and striking out 13 Monarchs.
  • The Pride tallied two runs in the second to take a 2-0 lead. From there they raised their run total by one in the fourth and twice in the fifth.
  • Game 2 saw the Monarchs take advantage on an early Greensboro error that allowed two runners to score. A double followed by an error by Methodist witnessed the Pride tying it up 2-2 in the third inning.
  • The fourth was a big one for the Monarchs as Rebekah Haigler, Kayleigh Raynor, and Heather Tsapp each drove in one run to put their team back in front. Bethany Junker also came around to score on an error by the catcher to cap off the four-run inning.
  • Greensboro got one run back to make it 6-3 during their at-bats in the fourth. Methodist got two additional insurance runs off the bat of Haley Fethke before the Pride scored their last run of the contest.
Stat Facts
  • Brittany Jones was in the circle for the second game against Greensboro. She is credited with the victory, which puts her season total at 10 wins this season (the first time she has reached double digit wins).
  • Jones and the Monarch defense did a great job in leaving the Pride runners stranded in Game 2, Greensboro left 10 players on base.
  • Methodist seemed more patient/made the Pride starter work more in the second game with six walks the team still struck out eight more times. This put the Monarchs at a total of 21 Ks between both contests.
UP NEXT
  • Methodist is back in USA South action this Saturday, April 9, when the team heads to Raleigh to face Meredith College in a two-game set with first pitch set for 1 PM.
  • Greensboro goes on the road to face, USA South East Division leader, Pfeiffer University in a doubleheader on Saturday (April 9) at 1 PM.
