Racers Win 12-inning Marathon 8-4 Over UAB
2/21/2022 11:35:00 AM | Softball
MSU Softball prevailed against UAB in 12 innings, 8-4
Murray State softball (6-4) closed out the 2022 Blazer Classic by prevailing 8-4 in 12 innings over host UAB (4-7) on Sunday at Mary Bowers Field in Birmingham, Alabama.
Nine Racers collected hits in the marathon game but none bigger than Sierra Gilmore's bases clearing three-RBI double in the top of the 12th to give Racers the lead for good and helping them go 4-1 at the Blazer Classic.
After Logan Braundmeier hit her second game-opening home run of the season to Racers an early 1-0 lead, the scoring halted until the fifth when Kamryn Carcich legged out an RBI triple as the Racers went up 2-0.
Down to their last three outs, the Blazers capitalized on two Murray State errors to tie the game at two in the seventh and sent it into extra innings.
UAB nearly walked the game off in the bottom of the 10th inning as the game entered into international tie-breaker rules – meaning each team will start with a runner on second base – at the top of the inning. The Blazer's Bella Wiggins knocked a double to center but a great throw from Jensen Striegel in centerfield was in time for Gracie Osbron to tag out the would-be game-winning run at the plate and keep the game even at two apiece.
In the eleventh, both teams used RBI singles to score their international tie breaker runner on second, making it a 3-3 game.
The floodgates opened for the Racers bats in the 12th after being held quiet for most of the game. The Racers strung together four hits, including Gilmore's base-clearing 3-RBI double, and used one error, to score five runs which gave plenty of run support for Jenna Veber in the circle to close out the win.
The combination of Hannah James and Jenna Veber was a force in the circle all weekend long. In the final game, both threw 6.0 innings, with neither allowing an earned run. James struck out six while Veber picked up her fourth win of the season.
The Racers head to Macon, Georgia next weekend to play four games against host Mercer and Middle Tennessee.
