Yellowjackets Drop Conference Openers at Hawaii-Hilo (Feb. 11, 2004)
Box Score 1
Box Score 2

HILO, HI – Montana State-Billings lost both ends of a double-header Wednesday afternoon, falling 9-3 and 2-0 at Hawaii-Hilo in the PacWest Conference openers for both teams.  The Yellowjackets dropped to 4-4 overall and 0-2 in the PacWest while the Vulcans improved to 4-3 overall and 2-0 in the PacWest.

The Yellowjackets jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first game, scoring one in the first and two in the second.  Theresa Campbell’s two-out single plated Joey Ehnes in the top of the first after Ehnes had doubled down the right field line. 

MSUB extended its lead in the top half of the second, scoring a pair of runs on two hits.  Aysha Blatter’s double moved Anna Henderson to third base after she had reached on a fielder’s choice.  Cami Rainey singled to left to score Blatter and give the Jackets a two run lead.  Ehnes reached on a fielder’s choice on the next play, bringing home Blatter for the Yellowjackets’ third and final run of the game.

The Vulcans got on the board in the bottom of the second when B.J. Shimamota singled to score Jeani Jadlot from third.  Jadlot had advanced to third on a passed ball.  The Vulcans blew the game open with six runs in the bottom of the fifth and two more in the bottom of the sixth.  Nancy Vega was 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored.

The Jackets’ Megan McCrae took the loss, giving up 11 hits and seven runs in 4 1/3 innings of work.  Five of the runs were earned as McCrae’s season record dropped to 1-3.  Joey Ehnes pitched the final 1 2/3, allowing four hits and two unearned runs.  Rainey led the Yellowjacket offense, going 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI.

Ehnes started game two by allowing two runs in the bottom of the first.  She gave up a pair of singles and a double that plated Lisa Jackson for the Vulcan’s first run of the game.  She then threw a wild pitch that allowed Laura Kimborowicz to score from third.

That was enough for the Vulcans’ Tara Martinez, who threw a three-hit shutout for the win.  Singles from Rainey, Sara Hanley and Stephanie Cochrun were the only hits Martinez allowed.  Ehnes pitched the entire game, giving up four hits and two runs in six innings.  She suffered her first defeat of the season to fall to 3-1. 

The Yellowjackets face the Vulcans again on Thursday in another double-header.  They then travel to Honolulu for PacWest double-headers against Chaminade on Saturday and Sunday.
