Campbellsville managed only six hits in a Wednesday double-header with
Indiana University Southeast at Veterans Memorial Park to continue its
streak of split twin bills. The Tigers won the first game 3-2 and lost
the second 4-1.
In the first game
Allison Horton notched the win with plenty of
defensive support. The Tigers turned three double plays, one in the
fifth with a runner on third. The other two came in the third and
fourth frames. Horton gave up seven hits, one in each inning.
Campbellsville got a run in its first at-bat when
Morgan Bullock single in
Emma Napier, who had walked and was pushed to second on a fielder's choice by
Kacie Vincent. It looked like the run would hold up, but the Tigers even got some, as it turned out, valuable insurance in the sixth with a
Bailey Dillender leadoff homer and a two-out RBI single by Horton, driving in
Alex Jane Clemmons.
But IUS caught a break on a phantom hit batter in the top of the seventh and the next hitter drilled a liner over the left-field fence.
Jennifer England squelched the threat with a nice sliding catch in right field.
In game two, Campbellsville got a home run from Dillender and other than
Jordan Cornett's safety that was about it. Dillender also was walked twice.
Cassidy Kroeker shouldered the loss in a seven-hit, three strike-out performance.
Campbellsville will take a 9-7 record into a Friday-Saturday-Sunday Gulf Coast Invitational Tournament with opponents yet to be announced. They return home on Wednesday, March 17 with a double-header against Lindsey Wilson.
