IWU Softball Tames Cougars

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

FT. WAYNE, Ind. - Indiana Wesleyan University softball dominated in all phases of the game on Thursday as the Wildcats took a doubleheader from the University of St. Francis (Ind.) by scores of 6-1 and 8-0.

Indiana Wesleyan snapped a four game losing streak as they improved to 18-14 overall and evened their MCC record at 5-5.

The Wildcats jumped out to a quick lead in the first game as they scored three unearned runs in the top of the first inning courtesy of two hits, a hit batsmen, and an error. The three-run margin would prove to be more than enough for IWU as the Wildcat defense limited the Cougars (4-20, 0-9 MCC) to one run throughout the game. IWU would add insurance runs in the third, fifth, and seventh innings to reach the final score of 6-1.

Indiana Wesleyan sophomore Dana Runyan went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while freshmen Gabby McIntire and Emily Sell both recorded two hits.

IWU junior Abbie Forman threw a complete game for the win, allowing one run on six hits and two walks, while striking out seven batters.

The Wildcats carried over their strong play into the second game as they downed the Cougars 8-0 in five innings. After a slow start, the IWU offense came to life in the fourth inning scoring four runs on three hits and two errors by USF. Indiana Wesleyan would double their run total in the fifth inning as four more Wildcat hits led to the final margin of 8-0.

IWU junior Tamara Davis went 2-for-3 at the dish with a double and two runs scored, while Emily Sell continued her hot streak as she also went 2-for-3 with two RBIs.

Abbie Forman pitched another solid game as she went the full five innings recording the shutout victory on four hits, two walks, and three strikeouts.

Indiana Wesleyan will look to continue their winning ways on Saturday as they travel to Spring Arbor (Mich.) University for a MCC doubleheader beginning at 1:00 p.m.
