Softball sweeps doubleheader from Concordia Texas

Austin, Texas – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor softball team used late-inning heroics to take control of both games as the Cru swept a doubleheader from Concordia Texas Friday evening in Austin. UMHB won 6-2 and 12-5 to improve to 13-9 overall and 8-9 in American Southwest Conference play on the season. The Tornados drop to 13-11 overall and 6-8 in ASC play with the two losses.
 
UMHB rallied from a pair of deficits to send game one to extra innings before blowing it open in the ninth inning on the way to a 6-2 victory. The Tornados jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. The Cru tied the game on Cori Drake's RBI groundout in the top of the fourth, but Concordia scored in the bottom of that frame to retake the lead at 2-1. Leah Brown's RBI double pulled UMHB even in the top of the sixth. The Cru had runners in scoring position in the seventh and eighth innings, but could not push across a run. UMHB would not have that trouble in the ninth, though. Makenzi Dawson singled home the first run, Devon Walter added an RBI double and Brown singled home two more runs to close out the scoring. Brown had three hits and three RBI for the Cru. Walter and Linsey Tomlinson added two hits apiece. Karen Tennis tossed a complete-game, four-hitter for UMHB, striking out six and walking one in raising her record to 6-2 on the season.
 
The Cru rallied with nine runs in the top of the seventh inning to post a 12-5 win in game two. UMHB grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning to break up a pitcher's duel. Walter's sacrifice fly brought home the first run and Brown followed with a two-run homer to stretch the lead for UMHB. After Haley Parker pitched her way out of a bases loaded one out jam in the bottom of that frame to keep it a three run game, the Tornados grabbed the lead with a five-run sixth inning. Olivia Kaase's three-run double tied the game before Brittani Whitten tripled home the go-ahead run and then scored on a passed ball. Drake singled home Dawson in the top of the seventh to cut it to 5-4 and Tomlinson doubled home a pair of runs to put the Cru back on top 6-5. Kasey Cummings followed with a two-run single and she came around to score on an error to make it 9-5. Walter added a three-run double to provide the final margin for UMHB. Dawson had four hits to lead the Cru offense and Drake and Karley Free added three hits apiece. CeCe Darilek picked up the victory for UMHB to move to 2-1 on the season.     
 
The two teams will close out the series with a noon single game on Saturday in Austin. UMHB will then return home to host Texas Lutheran University for a non-conference doubleheader at Dee Dillon Field on Tuesday, March 21st at 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
