Hoelscher, Pruetting go yard in split trip at Fort Hays

HAYS, Kan. — Thanks to an overwhelming approach at the plate in the first contest, Griffon Softball stretched their winning streak to 10 before dropping game two of Sunday's doubleheader vs. Fort Hays State at Tiger Stadium.

GAME 1
Missouri Western 8, Fort Hays 2
The Griffons wasted barely any time in the first game, taking an 2-0 lead in the top of the second thanks to a pair of RBI singles from Liz Vaupel and Jada Collins. After a Kennedy Preston sacrifice fly in the third, Bubba Hoelscher hammered a solo home run to left field to make it a 4-0 Griffon lead. Missouri Western was guided to an 8-0 lead and eventual 8-2 win thanks to a strong performance by pitcher Sam Pederson, who struck out five Tigers while only giving up two earned runs throughout seven innings of work.

GAME 2
Fort Hays 3, Missouri Western 2
Mackenzie DeVine put MWSU (11-4, 1-1 MIAA) up early in the top of third, slashing a single to center to score Abby Dickey. Fort Hays took a 2-1 lead after Carly Stuke sent a two-run shot to left field in the fourth inning. Harley Pruetting answered back in the fifth with a solo blast to left field, knotting the game at 2-2. The Tigers (13-9, 2-2 MIAA) took their final lead after a Griffon error kicked off the bottom half of the frame, allowing to Adysen Burghart to score on Loren Beggs' sacrifice fly later on. The Griffons left two runners on base in the seventh to close out the 3-2 final.
