Two Cardinals hit home runs, but UIW drops both games of doubleheader

LAKE CHARLES, La. -- The University of the Incarnate Word softball team fell to McNeese State 7-2 and 7-1 in Friday night's conference-opening doubleheader.

NOTABLES
  • In the first game of the evening, Delaney Guzman went 2-3 with a home run and an RBI, her first four-bagger of the season.
  • Senior third baseman Shelby Neatherlin also went yard, hitting a bomb over the left field wall for her first hit of the day. She also picked up a single in the second game.
  • Renee Hoffman pitched her seventh complete game of the season in the evening's second game, striking out three hitters.
  • The freshman also went 2-3 at the plate in the same game.
  • Freshman catcher Sam Wendel went 1-2 in the second game, recording an RBI on a sacrifice hit.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Game 1
McNeese got on the board early with a run, but Neatherlin responded in the top of the second inning with a solo shot over the left-field wall. The Cowgirls then scored five unanswered runs during the bottom half of the second and third innings before Guzman hit a home run in the sixth inning. The Cowgirls bounced back with a run of their own to make it 7-2 in the sixth inning and held onto their lead for the remainder of the game.

Game 2
Once again, McNeese struck first with a pair of runs in the opening frame, adding two in the third and three more in the fifth. The Cardinal scored on a sacrifice hit from Wendel to chip away at the deficit, but the Cowgirls would retain their lead for a 7-1 victory.

UP NEXT
The Cardinals look to salvage one game of the series when they take on the Cowgirls again tomorrow at noon.
