FSU Sweeps UU Softball in MEC Doubleheader

Story Links

FAIRMONT, W. Va. -- Urbana softball fell to Fairmont State in both games of Saturday's Mountain East Conference doubleheader, 11-4 and 12-7.

With the setback, UU dropped to 3-19 overall and 1-5 inside league play. The Blue Knights will travel to Shepherd tomorrow afternoon for another twinbill. The host Falcons improved to 9-11 and 5-1 against conference teams.

//  GAME 1 (FSU 11, UU 4)
UU grabbed the lead first with a pair of runs in the opening frame produced by Mykee Holtz and Bailee Faulkner. However, FSU responded with four runs and then plated four more in the fourth inning to put the game out of reach.

Holtz led the Blue Knights with a season-high three hits at the plate. Margo Jackson and Jenna VanHoose each had two base knocks while Allison Neeld delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning. Riley Curtis notched a single and stolen base.

FSU out-hit UU 15-9 with three doubles and a three-run home run.

//  GAME 2 (FSU 12, UU 7)
The two squads combined for 28 hits with 14 each in the nightcap, but the Falcons were able to take advantage of the offensive explosion.

UU plated three runs in the top of the fifth to make it a one-run game, 5-4. But, FSU also plated three in the fifth and then scored four in the sixth to stay out in front.

Neeld led UU with a career-high performance, going 3 for 4 at the plate with two RBI. Briana Bamber also went 3 for 4, knocking two doubles with two runs scored. Holtz and Courtney Kennedy had two hits apiece, while eight Blue Knights registered a base knock.

Carly Allen, Kayleigh Pate and Jade Laviolette handled the pitching duties for UU on the day.
