Softball Splits Doubleheader with Southeastern

DURANT, Okla. – The East Central University softball team traveled to Durant, Oklahoma, for a doubleheader matchup against rival Southeastern Oklahoma State University, falling 5-1 in game one before shutting down the Savage Storm 3-0 in the nightcap.
 
The split moves ECU to 9-12 overall and 6-5 in conference play.
 
In the opener, the Tigers struck first with a solo homer from Cheyenne Adair to put the Tigers out front 1-0 in the second inning.
 
ECU held Southeastern scoreless before a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the third drove in a Savage Storm run to tie the game 1-1.
 
Southeastern managed to take the lead in the fifth after a solo homer of their own allowed the Savage Storm to go up 2-1.
 
The Tigers only scattered four hits from the third to the seventh inning while the Savage Storm tabbed three more runs in the bottom of the sixth to set the final score 5-1.
 
Taryn O'Brien took the loss, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on seven hits. Lauren HerrNeckar came in relief, going one inning and giving up two runs on two hits.
 
Jayna Reid went 3-for-3, while Cheyenne Adair went 2-for-3 and picked up an RBI. Elyse LeClair, Miranda Garza, and Zoe Acosta each added a hit.
 
In the second game, Taia Harris tossed a complete game for her first shutout of the season.
 
ECU opened the scoring once again after Elyse LeClair was hit by pitch, advanced to second off Megan Lesko's single, and came home from Gabi Quintanilla's groundout to lead 1-0.
 
While Southeastern struggled to find their way around the bases, ECU tacked on another run in the third. LeClair led off with a double, advanced to third from Jayna Reid's sac bunt, then crossed home plate after Lesko's sac fly to go up 2-0.
 
The offense slowed down until the sixth inning when Quintanilla singled to right field to drive home Lesko and set the final score 3-0 for the doubleheader split.
 
Harris picked up the win, striking out four while allowing zero runs on four hits.
 
Megan Lesko led with two hits and an RBI, while Elyse LeClair, Gabi Quintanilla, and Vanessa Tamayo each had one hit.
 
The East Central University softball team will hit the road Friday, March 17 to take on Ouachita Baptist University in a GAC series.
