WILMINGTON, N.C. – The Radford softball team split in the second day of competition in the Fairfield Inn & Suites Seahawk Softball Bash with a 16-3 win over Howard and a 4-3 loss to Rhode Island on Saturday.
Â
GAME ONE vs. HOWARD
The Highlanders got things started with a six run inning in the second and ended the game with a six run inning in the seventh.
Â
Hunter Mundy gave Radford a 2-0 lead when she gave the team its second home run of the season. Then a pair of singles put runners on second and first. Sofia Tapia and Sydney Fisher had a one-run single and a two-run single, respectively that gave the Highlanders a 5-0 edge.
Â
Tapia later scored on a wild pitch that was Radford's sixth and final run of the inning. Radford was looking good with an 8-0 lead after four and a half, but back-to-back doubles from the Bison cut the lead to six, 8-2.
Â
Maggie Rowe picked up her second hit of the game in the fifth inning with a two-run double. The Highlanders couldn't push across that coveted eighth run as she was stranded on second.
Â
That changed in the top of the seventh inning when the Highlanders added six more runs on six hits.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
The Highlanders had 16 runs on 16 hits with four players earning multiple hit games. Fisher went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Radford had six extra-base hits with Rowe picking up a pair of doubles, along with Brooke Bond and Mundy with home runs.
Â
GAME TWO vs. RHODE ISLAND
Ellie Rowe gave the Highlanders their first run as she plated Hannah Medlam in the second inning. Medlam reached with a one-out single to left field. Then Destiny Freeman got on base with a walk. Rowe stepped in a delivered the clutch hit.
Â
Sienna Williams reached on a fielder's choice, but Freeman was out at third. Then a groundout to shortstop left a pair of runners on.
Â
The game seemed to be in control until the fifth inning when the Seahawks scored three runs and took a 3-1 lead.
Â
The Highlanders showed some resiliency in the top half of the sixth as Maggie Rowe singled to right field. She scored when Douglas drove her in with a double, and cut the deficit to one run. Medlam tied the game when she plated Douglas with a sacrifice fly.
Â
Radford left the go-ahead run on second, which would become a big play.
Â
In the bottom half of the inning, Erica Robles reached on a fielding error. Three pitches later Robles scored from second when Faith Musselwhite drove her in with a double to right field that gave the Rams a 4-3 lead.
Â
The Highlanders recorded three outs in the next three at-bats, but the offense couldn't get anything going as the game ended five pitches later.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
For the first time this season no Highlanders had multi-hit games. Douglas, Medlam and Ellie Rowe all had one hit and one RBI. Douglas had the lone extra base hit, a double.
Â
UP NEXT
Radford will conclude the Fairfield Inn & Suites Seahawk Softball Bash on Sunday at 10 a.m., against Howard.
