Greyhounds Keep Rangers Bats Quiet

Greyhounds allow only two hits to the Rangers in the doubleheader
Somers, Wis. – The UW-Parkside softball team struggled to get any offense going against the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds Saturday afternoon. The Greyhounds swept the Rangers by the scores of 4-0 and 2-0.

The Rangers return to action tomorrow for a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader against Saint Joseph's College. Sunday's doubleheader is scheduled for a noon start.

Below are recaps from Saturday's doubleheader against Indianapolis.

Game One (Box Score)

The Greyhounds broke the scoreless tie in the top of the third inning. With runners on the corners and two outs, Briana Clark reached on a Rangers error that scored Jennifer DeMotte from third base and put the Rangers down 1-0.

Indianapolis extended their lead in the top of the fourth. With a runner on second Casey Williamson singled up the middle scoring the second run of the game and taking a 2-0 lead. After the Greyhounds pulled off a successful double steal, DeMotte grounded out to second but that was good enough to get one run across and take a 3-0 lead.

The Rangers bats never got going as DeMotte and Audrey Ernst combined to only allow UW-Parkside to collect two hits in the game. The Greyhounds tacked on one more on the board and won game one 4-0.

Game Two (Box Score)

Kristin Kleinmeyer and DeMotte were locked into a pitcher's duel until the fifth inning when the Greyhounds broke the scoreless tie. With one out Alexa Alfaro hit a home run to left center to put Indianapolis up 1-0. The Greyounds added one more run in the inning and after four and a half innings the Rangers trailed 2-0.

That would be enough for DeMotte has she had the Rangers number. She only allowed two Rangers to reach base for the game on a walk and an error as she no-hit the Rangers in game two.

Indianapolis came away with a 2-0 victory in the second game.
