A
Poet error led to the game's first run and Austin went up 1-0 in the
bottom of the second inning. The Poets tied the score in the top
of the fourth, when a pass ball scored Beth Walczak '10, who
doubled earlier in the inning. In the top of the sixth, the Poets
exploded for eight more runs. An error extended the inning for the
Poets, and with two outs, seven hits and a walk in succession led to the
eventual 9-1 victory.
In game two, Ureno went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and a run
scored. Charis Gaston '09 also went 2-for-3 with a pair of
RBI. Brenna Winslow '07 went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI
and three runs scored. Pacheco went 2-for-4 with a double and two
runs scored. She leads the Poets with a .545, 33 RBI and 28 runs
scored. Katie Sharpe '10 and Walczak each drove in a run.
Ovieda (10-4) started on the mound and pitched five and two-thirds
innings allowing just one run on four hits and five walks.
The Poets jumped out to an early lead with two doubles, two singles, a
scrifice fly and three runs in the first. They added to their lead
in the third with a Gaston RBI single. Austin scored their lone
run of the game in the sixth inning. Whittier added on three more
runs in the top of the seventh to give them a 7-1 lead. Arenas
came on to pitch in the sixth inning and faced six batters, allowing
just two hits.
The Poets continue their Spring Break trip in Texas with a pair of games
against the University of Dallas on April 4. |
