Softball Suffers Rare Sweep

Missouri Southern snaps losing streak to Griffons

JOPLIN, Mo. – For the first time in almost two years, the Missouri Western softball team (28-10, 6-4) was swept in a doubleheader on Friday.
 
Missouri Southern (21-24, 9-7) took game one, 2-0 and used a bases loaded walk with two out in the bottom of the seventh to win game two, 4-3.
 
NOTABLES
  • It was the first time Missouri Western has been swept in a true doubleheader since April 23, 2015 against Emporia State
  • Game one was Missouri Southern's first win over the Griffons since April 23, 2011
  • Missouri Western tied game two with two runs in the seventh, but a double play on a pop up ended the rally
  • Missouri Southern got the first three batters on in the seventh on a single and two straight sacrifice bunt attempts before Kenzie Hilzer got two outs without a run scoring. The winning run was walked in on a 3-2 pitch after Hilzer had battled back from 2-0 to work the count even
 
TOP PERFORMERS
  • Morgan Rathmann went 4-for-7 at the plate and scored a run. The senior is now just three runs away from breaking the MWSU career record  (172)
  • Shelbie Atwell was 2-for-4 on the day and had an RBI
 
UP NEXT
Missouri Western travels to Pittsburg State (32-12, 11-5) for a doubleheader on Saturday that is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
