PIONEERS SWEPT BY #5 ASU
ASU 1, TWU 0 - Box Score
ASU 6, TWU 1 - Box Score
SAN ANGELO, Texas (April 12, 2008) – The Texas Woman’s University Pioneers suffered two Lone Star Conference South Division losses on Saturday afternoon, losing both games of a doubleheader to the Angelo State University Rambelles at the ASU Softball Field in San Angelo, Texas.
ASU claimed a 1-0 win over TWU in the first game of the day. The contest was a pitchers duel between the Pioneers’ Allie Packer and the Rambelles’ Kari Galm. Packer pitched perhaps her best game of the season, working six innings in the circle and limiting the high-powered ASU offense to just four hits and one run. Galm, however, was just as good as Packer, holding TWU to just six hits en route to recording her second shutout win over the Pioneers in as many days. The Rambelles scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the first inning when senior first baseman Brittany Cargill walked, stole second, and then came across the plate on an RBI single by ASU’s junior shortstop, Macy Baker.
 The second game of the day went to the Rambelles by a 6-1 score. Baker was again the offensive catalyst for ASU, picking up two hits, scoring one run, and totaling three runs batted in. Sophomore catcher Kaley Frye (pictured) accounted for the only TWU run in the game when she hit her third home run of the season, a solo shot, in the top of the fifth inning. Frye also had two singles and a stolen base in the loss for the Pioneers.
The pair of defeats puts the Pioneers’ record at 16-35 overall and 2-10 in the LSC South. ASU, the fifth-ranked team in this week’s NFCA Division II Top 25 poll, improves to 38-9 overall and 12-3 in the LSC South.
Next up for TWU will be a 7:00 p.m. home game on Wednesday, April 16, versus the University of North Texas.
