Roanoke Upends Randolph-Macon Softball 6-1 & 12-9
(Game One Box Score) / (Game Two Box Score)
ASHLAND, VA – The Randolph-Macon College softball team had is 16 game winning streak snapped by Roanoke College which swept a doubleheader from the Yellow Jackets Sunday afternoon in Ashland. RC took game one 6-1 and earned a 12-9 victory in the second game of the day.
In game one, RC (21-6 / 6-2 ODAC) jumped on the board first with a run in the first inning. R-MC got the run right back in the bottom of the first when Morgan Greene opened the frame with a single, moved to second on sacrifice bunt by Carrie Barchick and scored on a double by Brooke Snyder.
RC took advantage of a two out R-MC miscue in field that turned a Clarrisa Norwich single into a double and Norwich scored what proved to be the winning run when Jaci Clark followed with an RBI single.
In game two, the Maroons used a 10-run third inning to break open a tied game and take a 12-2 lead. The Jackets clawed their way back and cut the RC lead to 12-9 on a Meaghan Mauck two-run homerun in the bottom half of the seventh. That would be as close as R-MC would get as the Roanoke bullpen preserved the win for starter Gretchen Wolfe who picked up both victories in the circle for Roanoke.
Randolph-Macon will be back in action on Tuesday at home when it hosts ODAC rival Virginia Wesleyan in a doubleheader starting at 3:00 p.m.
