MSUB Softball Splits on Third Day of CWU Invitational

   Saint Martin's Box Score
   Central Washington Box Score  

RICHLAND, Wash. – Just as with the previous two days, the Montana State Billings softball team split a pair of games Saturday on the third day of the CWU Invitational, losing to St. Martin’s 4-2 and beating host Central Washington 5-1.  The Yellowjackets improve to 5-6 on the season and 3-3 for the tournament.

Saint Martin’s scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the second inning courtesy of a pair of doubles.  SMU left the bases loaded in the inning as Yellowjacket hurler Lisa Moore (1-3) got out of the jam with just the one run scored 

MSUB evened the score in the top of the third with a solo home run by Leslie Davis.  The Yellowjackets had the opportunity to plate a couple more runs, but were unable to get anything more across.

A leadoff double by SMU in the bottom half of the inning and a bases loaded walk broke the 1-1 tie.  In the fourth inning the Saints added the insurance run with a home run, followed by another home run in the fifth. 

MSUB’s Terina Stacks had a RBI single in the sixth to cut the deficit to 4-2, but the Saints closed the door and the Jackets went down in order in the seventh. 

Davis led the team going 2 for 4 with a run and a RBI.  Moore went four and one third innings, allowing seven hits, four earned runs, four walks and she punched out four.  Rebekah Tsatsa came in relief for one and two thirds innings, allowing one hit and had one strikeout.

The Yellowjackets rebounded in the second game with a 5-1 victory over host Central Washington.  MSUB scored two runs in the first and added three in the sixth for the victory.  Tsatsa (3-1) went the distance, scattering five hits, one earned run, one walk and five strikeouts.

Stacks led off the game with a double and Stephanie Gosselin hit a two run single up the middle to begin the game.  In the fifth, MSUB used three RBI singles (Davis, Kelly Parsons, Gosselin) to build a 5-0 lead.

The Wildcats scored one run in the sixth on a RBI single, but that would be it for the threat.  CWU had a hit in the seventh but were unable to muster much of a rally.

The Yellowjackets will conclude the tournament with a single game against Seattle University tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. PST.
