Softball falls twice in Florida

CLERMONT, Fla. - The Hood College softball team fell 10-0 to Meredith and 2-1 to Rhodes on the second day of the Blazers' spring trip. 

At the Plate Inside the Circle
  • Belle Bortner took a hard-luck loss against Rhodes. The newcomer pitched a complete game, allowing just two runs on nine hits and a walk. She struck out one. 
  • Kiley Banks took the loss against Meredith. She was charged with three runs on five hits and a walk in five innings. She struck out two. 
Meredith 10, Hood 0
  • Brie Caldwell tossed a three-hit shutout for the Avenging Angels. 
  • Banks nearly matched her pitch-for-pitch before running into trouble in the fifth. She gave up a run in the first inning but then retired 13 of the next 14 hitters she faced. Meredith loaded the bases in the fifth and Kelsey Mabe gave the Avenging Angels a 3-0 lead with a two-run single. 
  • Meredith added seven more runs in the sixth and seventh against the Hood bullpen. Alyssa Drake, Anna Goldman and Bryce Smith each had run-scoring singles in a four-run sixth. Four straight hitters walked to start the seventh before an RBI groundout and a passed ball capped the scoring. 
  • Hood's best chance came on a one-out double by Grove in the fifth. Hood was able to advance her to third but Caldwell picked up a strike out for the third out to strand Grove there. 
Rhodes 2, Hood 1
  • Hood scored first with a run in the third. Smith reached on a bunt single to start the inning and Baker sacrificed to move her to second. After a passed ball moved her to third, Cailyn Barthlow drove her in with an RBI groundout for a 1-0 lead. 
  • The Lynx took the lead in the bottom of the inning. Lauren King tied the game with a run-scoring single and then came home herself on an RBI double off the bat of Shannon Tierney. 
  • Hood loaded the bases in the fourth. Gosline led off with a single and Colleen Blasko and Smith loaded the bases with two-out base hits. Rhodes' pitcher Madison Keller forced a ground out to end the inning. 
  • After allowing four hits in the third, Bortner settled in and allowed just two more the rest of the game. 
  • Keller allowed a run on seven hits in 5.2 innings and struck out seven for the win. King came on in relief and notched the save with 1.1 innings of hitless work.
