Racers Sweep Again, Push Win Streak To Five
2/15/2020 4:30:00 PM | Softball
For the second time in as many days, the Murray State softball team won both of its games at the 2020 Natchitoches Historic District Development Commission Lady Demon Classic at the Lady Demon Field in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The Racers began the day with Jenna Veber one-hitter against Northwestern State, followed by a 6-1 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the night cap.
Game 1 – Murray St. 3, Northwestern St. 0
Veber went the distance in Saturday's opener and allowed just one hit, a single in the fifth, no walks and tallied two strikeouts. Through two games at the Lady Demon Classic this weekend, Murray State pitchers have limited Northwestern State to no run on just four hits.
Offensively for Murray State, Jensen Striegel began the scoring in the second when she knocked in Lily Fischer on a triple to left center. Logan Braundmeier was then responsible for the final two runs as she had RBI-singles in the second and fourth to cap the scoring at three. The Racers ended the day with seven hits, while also drawing four walks.
Game 2 – Murray State 6, Ark.-Pine Bluff 1
In game two, the Racers bats came alive as they pounded out six runs on 10 hits. After Murray State scored two in the second inning, Sierra Gilmore and Lexi Jones helped seal the win in the third with back-to-back home runs. The home runs were the fourth of the season for Gilmore and third for Jones.
Alie Kennedy led MSU in the day's second game by going 2-for-3 with two runs and a walk, while Gilmore was 2-for-4 with a run and two RBIS. In the circle, Taylor Makowsky moved to 3-0 on the year by allowing just one run on four hits with three strikeouts and no walk over four inning of work. Ellison Barrett entered the game in the fifth for the Racers and earned the save by allowing now runs on one with two strikeouts and a walk.
Murray State will return to the Lady Demon Diamond Sunday in hopes of completing the weekend sweep when they take on Northwestern State at 10 a.m.
