GAME ONE BOXSCORE (PDF) | GAME TWO BOXSCORE (PDF)
AKRON, Ohio – The University of Akron softball team dropped a pair of Mid-American Conference contests on Wednesday afternoon at Lee R. Jackson Field as the Bobcats edged the Zips in the opener, 5-2, before taking the nightcap, 9-5.
Ohio scored one run in the top of the first inning in game one before adding a pair of tallies in both the third and fourth innings to assume a lead it didn't relinquish.
Five different Zips recorded hits in the opener, with redshirt junior Tiffany Stevens (Toledo, Ohio) and freshman Meagan Lee (Leander, Texas) each collecting an RBI to account for Akron's two runs in the affair.
Redshirt senior Alexa DiFeo (Akron, Ohio) struck out seven batters without surrendering a walk in 6.2 innings in the circle for the Zips.
Ohio bookended three runs in the first inning and four in its final at-bat in the nightcap to secure a 9-5 victory.
Five different Akron players garnered doubles in the contest, while redshirt junior Jaiden Bryant (Hilliard, Ohio) and freshman Brooke Sivek (Boerne, Texas) added two hits each for the Zips. Freshman Abigail Scheller (North Hills, Pa.) finished with two RBI on the strength of a double in the fourth inning.
Freshman P Haley Croyle (Hubbard, Ohio) and DiFeo combined to strike out seven batters against only one walk.
UP NEXT:
Akron opens a three-game series at Toledo with a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday, April 1.
