Lady Tiger softball clinches MSC regular season; split doubleheader will No. 11 Lindsey Wilson

COLUMBIA, Ky. — A tale of two games for No. 4 Campbellsville turned into a doubleheader split with No. 11 Lindsey Wilson in the first two games of the Battle of Highway 55 series this weekend. 
 
The Lady Tigers (40-7, 22-4) clinched their Mid-South Conference-record eighth regular season crown with an 8-0 win in game one, but CU fell victim to a 5-3 loss in game two of the twin bill. 
 
 The regular season title is the eighth in program history, as the Lady Tigers also won in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016 and now 2018. 
 
In game one, CU recorded a game-high six doubles and scratched together 13 hits for the run-rule victory. Jacqueline Roof and Ryleigh Oldham both tallied three hits, as Roof drove in four runs and Oldham scored three.  
 
Neely Quint improved to 25-1 on the season after her seventh complete-game shutout and striking out three Blue Raiders. 
 
In game two, the Lady Tigers scored only three runs in the second inning, but Annabelle Ramirez (12-6) shut them down in the other six. Rebecca Miller and Oldham both led CU with two hits each, as both drove in a run and Oldham scored the other. 
 
Morgan Gailor didn't have her best stuff in the circle, as she walked five batters – three of them coming around to score. She allowed only six hits, but the Blue Raiders scored four earned runs in the 113-pitch performance. 
 
Games three and four of the series are scheduled for 2 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon at the Lindsey Wilson Sports Complex. Coverage starts on the CU Sports Network starting at 1:45. 
 
Game one: Campbellsville 8, Lindsey Wilson 0 (5 innings)
 
The Lady Tigers scratched crooked-number runs in the second and fifth innings, including five runs in the second to blow the game open. 
 
Brianna Scott, Jordan Ison and Oldham loaded the bases with one out to set up Roof's first two-RBI double of the day to put CU ahead, 2-0. Rebecca Miller delivered a suicide squeeze to score Oldham to put CU up, 3-0, and she was followed with an RBI single by Tori Humphrey to extend CU's lead to 5-0. 
 
The ninth batter of the inning, Alexis Smith, capped off the frame with the second run-scoring double to put CU ahead, 5-0. 
 
CU led 6-0 after four innings after back-to-back doubles by Oldham and Miller and chased Lindsey Wilson started Taylor Slade (5-3) out of the game. Slade finished throwing only 3.1 innings, allowed 10 hits and six runs. 

The Lady Tigers scratched two more to set up the run-rule victory in the fifth. With two outs, Dana Adkins started the rally with a single up the middle and was followed with Oldham's third hit in the opener. Roof then delivered her second two-RBI double to right-center to put CU ahead, 8-0. 

Overall, CU was 5-for-10 with two outs and 9-of-18 with runners on base in the opener. The Blue Raiders didn't really threaten Quint in the opener, as they only had a runner reach second base twice and third base once. 
 
Game two: Lindsey Wilson 5, Campbellsville 3 
 
A first-inning two-run homer by Lindsey Wilson's Alaeni Ray set the tone for game two. After a walk to Lyric Houston in the opening frame, Ray delivered only her third home run of the season. 
 
That was the first of three walks that ended up coming around to score for the Blue Raiders. 
 
The Lady Tigers fought back with their offense in the second frame, though. Ryley Whitney started the rally with a single and Scott's sac bunt attempted was ruled an error on the Blue Raiders's Sydney Fourman at first. That set up a sacrifice bunt by Jordan Ison to move both runners into scoring position. Oldham followed with her fourth hit of the day – an RBI double to left field – and Miller scored two more with a base knock to right field. 
 
But that's all the offense could muster in game two. 
 
Gailor came right back in the bottom of the second, though, and set the Blue Raiders down 1-2-3 – the lone inning she didn't allow a free pass. 
 
Lindsey Wilson tied the game at three in the third inning after a leadoff walk to Houston scored on Ray's double down the left field line. 
 
The scored remained tied until the sixth. CU had an opportunity to regain the lead in the fourth inning, though. An error and passed ball allowed Ison to reach second base and eventually move to third on a sac bunt by Adkins. But with a runner on third and one out, the Lady Tigers were unable to pick up the go-ahead run. 

After blistering the ball in game one, CU was only 3-for-12 at the plate with runners on in game two. 
 
In the home-half of the sixth, another leadoff walk came back to haunt. Gailor walked Hancock but then picked up two straight outs to set up two outs and a runner on second base. But Houston put LWC ahead, 4-3, with a two-out RBI single up the middle and Callum Pilgrim scored an insurance run off a CU error. 
 
The Lady Tigers had the game-tying run at the plate with the top of their order up but Roof, Miller and Humphrey could not produce.
