R-MC Softball Takes a Pair from McDaniel 3-1 and 12-1
ASHLAND, VA – The Randolph-Macon College softball scored a pair of victories over visiting McDaniel College on Sunday, winning game one by the score of 3-1 and game two 12-1 in five innings.
R-MC has now won four in a row to up its record to 5-3 on the season. The Yellow Jackets got a strong pitching performance from the duo of Christi Wise and Courtney Brooks in the opener. Wise started in the circle and went four innings, allowing three hits and no runs, while striking out seven. Brooks picked up the win after tossing three innings of relief, and striking out six.
The Jackets used two runs in the sixth inning to propel themselves to victory. In that deciding frame, Morgan Greene was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Carrie Barchick and came around to score what proved to be the winning run on a Brooke Snyder single. Snyder would score an insurance run when Meaghan Mauck followed with an RBI double.
In game two, R-MC scored eight runs in the first two innings to take a commanding 8-1 lead early. Paige Smith recorded five RBIs on the day and Shannon Long went 3-of-3 with three runs scored in the victory. Katie Raulerson went the distance to pick up win in the circle. Raulerson scattered five hits and struck out eight in the win.
Randolph-Macon will return to action on Thursday when it will take on Meredith College at home at 2:00 p.m.
