Softball Swept In Saturday Twinbill

DURANT, Okla. – Despite moving the series from Bethany to the southeastern Softball Field, the Savage Storm were unable to rally on day two of its series with Southern Nazarene, dropping game one 4-1 before falling in the finale 7-4 on Saturday.
 
SE falls to 16-26 overall on the season and 10-22 in Great American Conference play.
 
Even though they were playing on their home field, the Storm spent both games batting as the visiting team since SNU was still technically the home team for the series.
 
Emily Cudd posted a 3-for-3 outing in the opener at the plate, with Destiny Riddle, Conner Harmon and Mykaela Wallace each adding a hit.
 
No one would record an RBI, with Wallace accounting for the team's run on a stolen base.
 
Cudd would also take the loss in a complete game after allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits with one strikeout.
 
SNU would take a 1-0 lead in the first, but Wallace would steal home in the top of the second to tie the game at 1-1.
 
However, the Crimson Storm would add a two-run homer in the third and an RBI double in the fourth to pull ahead 4-1 and that would hold to be the final.
 
The finale saw Wallace post a 3-for-3 outing at the plate, with Symphoni Shomo adding a pair of hits, while four others had one each.
 
Brittany Chatellier turned in three RBI with three-run homer, while a Wallace solo shot accounted for her one RBI.
 
Riddle would get the start and toss a complete game while allowing seven runs, four earned, on 11 hits with one strikeout.
 
SNU posted a three run fourth as well as a three run fifth while sandwiching a one run third inning in the middle to open up a 7-0 lead on the Storm.
 
A Wallace solo homer in the top of the seventh would spark a rally and it was followed by a three-run shot by Chatellier to close the gap to 7-4.
 
SE would get the tying run to the plate, but were unable to strike again in the 7-4 loss.
