Softball Splits with Guilford

GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Shenandoah University softball team split with Guilford College on Sunday afternoon in an ODAC doubleheader, falling in game one 13-7, before finishing strong with a 16-4 win in game two.

The Hornets (16-6, 5-3 ODAC) scored a combined 14 runs across the final four innings of game two to recover from a 4-2 Quakers (11-14-1, 1-5) lead. Allison McQueeney tied the program-high for hits in a game with five in the nightcap.

GAME ONE RECAP

Allison McQueeney singled, stole second, and advanced to third on an error to set up the first run of the afternoon, with Cadence Rieg singling home McQueeney. With two outs in the inning, Keagan Cooper hit an RBI single, which scored Brenna Westwood to make it 2-0.

In the second, Sarah Medellin tripled to start the inning and later scored on a sacrifice fly by McQueeney to make it 3-0. At the bottom of the frame, Guilford pieced together five hits to score five runs, to lead 5-3.

Makayla Cox helped cut the Hornets' deficit to one with an RBI double in the third, prior to coming around and scoring on an RBI single from Payton Jensen, which tied the game at five. However, the tie didn't last long as the Quakers poured on five runs in the bottom of the inning, grabbing a 10-5 lead.

McQueeney added an RBI in the fifth for the Hornets, but Guilford answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning, extending its lead to six, 12-6. The Quakers scored another run in the sixth on an SU error.

The final run of the game came across for the Hornets in the top of the seventh on a Guilford error.

Jensen and Medellin led Shenandoah with multiple hits in the game.

GAME TWO RECAP

Brenna Westwood hit a one-out single in the first, driving in Allison McQueeney for the game's first run. With two outs on the board, the Quakers had a fielding error, which kept the inning alive and scored Westwood, giving SU the 2-0 lead. The home team responded in the bottom of the inning with a pair of runs, tying the game at two.

In the bottom of the third, Guilford gained a 4-2 lead on a triple and SU error, both with two outs.

Sarah Connell reached in the fourth on a bunt single, and McQueeney scored the first-year with a full count double. With two runners on for the Hornets, Makayla Cox doubled to left center, driving in both runners and giving SU a 5-4 lead.

RBI singles by McQueeney, Westwood, and Cox gave Shenandoah a four run lead in the fifth, prior to Keagan Cooper drawing a bases loaded walk to drive in another run. Westwood then scored on a wild pitch, which made it 10-4.

McQueeney added her second RBI of the game with a two-out single, which scored Lu Cirillo. A first-pitch bases-clearing, three-RBI double by Maddie Esham made it 14-4 in the seventh. McQueeney and Rieg each added one more RBI single late in the seventh, giving SU a 16-4 lead.
