Lady Jackets Split Doubleheader at Seattle (Mar. 8, 2005)
Game 1 Box Score
Game 2 Box Score

SEATTLE, WA – Montana State-Billings split a West Region doubleheader at Seattle University on Tuesday, winning the first game 2-1 before falling 6-2 in game two.  The game one win was the seventh-straight for the Yellowjackets, who moved to 10-5 overall after the split.  They conclude their Spring Break swing through Washington with a doubleheader at St. Martin’s in Lacey on Wednesday.

Following a 4-3 win against the Redhawks to close the Central Washington Invitational on Sunday, MSU Billings took another one run decision in Tuesday’s first game.  Joey Ehnes (Sr., Great Falls, MT) went the distance for the win to improve to 7-3 on the season.  She struck out seven and lowered her earned run average to 1.52.

Seattle jumped to a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Jane Purdy hit a solo home run off Ehnes.  That was all the Redhawks managed as Ehnes limited them to three hits.  The Jackets struck in the top of the sixth inning when Ehnes drew a bases loaded walk to score Layne Pavey (Sr., Spokane, WA). 

MSU Billings manufactured the game winning run in the seventh.  Jenna Haacke (Fr., Billings, MT) reached on a fielder’s choice and was replaced by pinch runner Jordan Waverek (Sr., Kalispell, MT).  Waverek advanced to second on a ground out by Christy Wankel (Jr., Great Falls, MT) and to third on a passed ball.  Pavey grounded to a deep shortstop to plate Waverek for the game winner.  Rachel Quarnburg (So., Billings, MT) was 2-for-3 at the plate.

The Redhawks finally got the bats going in game two, tagging starter Megan McCrae (Sr., Brandon, Manitoba) for six runs.  McCrae fell to 2-2 after giving up nine hits in six innings.  The Jackets took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Quarnburg singled up the middle to score Cami Rainey (Sr., Terreton, ID).  Seattle answered in the bottom of the first with another solo homer from Purdy.

Seattle blew the game open with four runs in the bottom of the second.  Katie Ledbetter led off the inning with a double and the Yellowjackets followed with two errors.  Three of the four runs Seattle scored in the inning were unearned.  MSUB added a run in the sixth when Quarnburg drove in Rainey with another single up the middle.  Quarnburg was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI.
