Softball Falls in Extra Innings in Season Opener

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - The William Jewell softball team opened the 2022 season on Friday afternoon at the Alvy Early Classic. After a three-run rally to tie the game, the Cardinals fell in nine innings to Pittsburg State by a final of 4-3. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Pittsburg State got on the board first, scoring two runs on two hits in the opening frame. The Gorillas added a run in the third on a Jewell miscue to push their lead to 3-0. 
  • In the fourth inning, the Cardinal offense came alive as a double, an infield single and a walk loaded the bases. With one out, Sydney Cure singled to right field scoring Kenzie Jones. Sophia Lopez followed with a fielder's choice allowing two runs to cross the plate and tie the game. 
  • In the top of the ninth, Pittsburg State got a lead off double and advanced on a wild pitch. A sacrifice fly from Kami Zimmerman allowed the pinch runner to score and put the Gorillas back on top for good. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Cure led the Cardinals with two hits, including a double, while Lauren Ledbetter drew two walks. 
  • Sammie Welt (0-1) took the loss in relief. 

UP NEXT
Jewell continues action at the Alvy Early Classic on Saturday with a doubleheader against Upper Iowa and Emporia State, beginning at 11 a.m.
