ANGELO STATE SWEEPS
PIONEERS IN FOUR
DENTON,
TX—Angelo
State (37-5, 9-3 LSC) picked up where they left
off last night, handing Texas
Woman's University (28-15-1, 7-5 LSC) two more losses in
conference action. The Rambelles scored 18 runs off of 18 hits
in a 18-5 win in game one, then came from three runs down in
the third inning to close out the four-game sweep with a 6-5
win in game two.
TWU
looked ready to avenge their two losses on Friday night as
they took an early 1-0 lead in game one. Jami Ingram
(Richmond, BC/Blinn College) hit a RBI-single to left
field with two runners on base, scoring Amanda Arnold (The
Colony, TX/The Colony H.S.). ASU quickly tied the game
when Jamie McGalliard scored on a passed by TWU catcher Stefani
Easter (Troy, TX/Sam Houston St.). The Rambelles continued
their scoring in the top of the third when Cat Moreno hit a
solo homerun in the second at-bat. After Andrea Payan hit a
single to center field, McGalliard sent Amanda Chambless'
(Collinsville, TX/Collinsville H.S.) pitch over the left
field fence for a two-run homerun. ASU was not done as Alexis
Wing singled to center field, driving in two more runs and
giving the Rambelles a 1-6 lead. In the bottom of the third, Nikki
Boudreaux (Orange, TX/Navarro College) scored an unearned
run on an error by the ASU shortstop, and then Ingram hit a
RBI-double to close the gap to 3-6. The Rambelles hit around
for two straight innings and scored 12 more runs to blow the
game open. Relief pitcher Claudia Lopez retired the final three
Pioneer' batters to end the game, 5-18, after five innings
of play. Chambless recorded her third straight loss in the
series, moving her record to 12-6 by allowing 18 runs, 11 earned,
on 18 hits.
The
Pioneers came out firing in game two, taking a 3-0 lead after
one inning. Boudreaux hit a RBI-single to center
field, then Jami Ingram connected with her eighth homerun of
the season, a two-run shot that went over the left field fence.
Both teams went scoreless in the second inning, then ASU put
five runs on the board to take a 3-5 lead. Diana Faulkner started
the scoring when she hit a RBI-double to left field with two
runners on base. The bases were loaded three batters later
when Stephanie Kirkpatrick hit an infield single to TWU first
baseman Arnold, allowing Michelle Hoffman to score from
third. Andrea Payan hit a RBI-single in the next at-bat, then
Jessica Oberhelman doubled to right field, scoring the final
two runners in the inning. The Pioneers added a run in the
bottom of the fourth to draw within one, 4-5. After the Rambelles'
Faulkner hit a solo homerun in the top of the seventh, TWU
tried to rally in the bottom half of the inning. Boudreaux
scored on a ground out by Ingram with two outs, making
the score 5-6, then Arnold was hit by a pitch in the next at-bat. Megan
Helms (Krum, TX/Krum H.S.) fouled off two pitches, then
grounded out to the first baseman for the final out. Devin
Blew (Crowley, TX/Crowley H.S.) moved her record to 4-6
with the loss after she allowed six runs on nine hits.
Up
next, the Pioneers continue their home stand as they host
defending national champion St. Mary's University in a doubleheader
on Tuesday, April 8 beginning at 5:00 p.m.
