Cardinals Close Season with Split at Rockhurst

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The William Jewell softball team split their final doubleheader of the season on Saturday, taking on crosstown rival Rockhurst. The Cardinals won the opener, 5-3, before falling 4-1 in game two to finish 24-32 overall, a 17-win improvement from 2023, and 7-19 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. 

GAME ONE: Jewell 5, Rockhurst 3
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Jewell got on the board first in the opening inning as Tori Woodard drew a bases loaded walk to score Sabrina Olmo. The Hawks tied things up in the following frame with an RBI single. 
  • Ella Hoffman's pinch hit sac fly to center plated Woodard in the top of the fourth to put the Cardinals back in front but a wild pitch in the bottom half again knotted things up. 
  • In the fifth Olmo led off with a double followed by a walk to Addie Bell, putting two on for Amanda Chung who reached on a fielder's choice, scoring one. Woodard followed up with a sac fly to double up the score, 4-2. 
  • The Hawks pulled within one late but an infield single in the sixth allowed Sydney Cure to cross the plate for a key insurance run. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Olmo finished with three hits and two runs while Woodard drove in two. 
  • Olivia Wood (10-8) earned the win in the circle working four-plus frames, allowing three earned runs with two strikeouts. 
  • Avrey Reynolds picked up her third save, tossing the final three scoreless innings. 

GAME TWO: Rockhurst 4, Jewell 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Both pitchers worked efficiently through the first three-plus innings until Rockhurst broke through in the bottom of the fourth with two runs on a wild pitch and an error. 
  • After a two-run home run in the fifth added two more for the Hawks, Chung put a sac fly into the left field to score one but the Cardinals could get no closer. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Jewell was limited to just two hits in game two, from Woodard and Abby Vandiver.
  • Sammie Welt (0-4) threw all six innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits with three strikeouts. 

UP NEXT
Jewell will lose five starters to graduation but return the bulk of the pitching staff in 2025.
