Softball falls twice at Mount Union

ALLIANCE, Ohio (March 22, 2022) – The Denison University softball team dropped its final two games before its 2022 home opener this week. The Big Red lost game one at the University of Mount Union 8-0 in five innings before falling 8-1 in game number two at 23rd Street Softball Field on Tuesday.
 
Game 1 (Denison 0, Mount Union 8):
  • Mount Union got a two-RBI triple in the first inning and proceed to score seven runs in the first three innings before scoring the final run on a bunt single to end the game in the bottom of the fifth.
  • The bottom of the third inning for the Purple Raiders featured three runs on zero hits and four Denison fielding errors.
  • The Big Red, meanwhile, managed only three hits in the game, two of which came from Claire Powell, who led off the game with a triple to right center but was stranded at third.
  • In the top of the third inning, Denison loaded the bases with nobody out as Macie Harkovich led off with a walk and Jessica Hopkins and Powell both singled. Unfortunately, Harkovich was thrown out at home trying to score on a fly out to right field by Maggie Ballentine before a lineout to center field by Jacqui Abogado ended the threat.
 
Game 2 (Denison 1, Mount Union 8):
  • Just like it did in game one, Mount Union scored three runs in the first inning of game two and had seven runs within the first three innings.
  • Denison's only run of the day came in the second inning when Sam Kline doubled down the left field line, advanced to third on a single up the middle by Allie Kovatch and then scored on a sacrifice fly to center field by Abby Arabia.
  • In the end, the Purple Raiders finished with four doubles, three triples and a home run in game two.
  • Hopkins finished 2-for-3 for the Big Red.
 
Records:
  • Denison falls to 4-7 while Mount Union improves to .500 at 9-9. The most recent meeting between the two teams before Tuesday was a 5-0 win for Denison during the NCAA Regionals back in 2008.
 
Next Up: Denison's home opener will be a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 24, against Mount St. Joseph University.
