The W Softball’s split with Webster keeps them atop SLIAC

COLUMBUS, Miss. -  The W softball forged a split of its doubleheader with Webster University – losing the opener, 3-2, and winning game two, by an identical 3-2 score – to help it remain in first place in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC). The Owls are now 13-11 overall, 9-1 in the SLIAC, while the Gorloks are now 15-18 and 8-2 in conference.
 
MUW tallied single runs in the first and second. Kaylee Crawford's RBI single plated the Owls' first run and they added a second on a fielding error that scored MC Brown, following Brianna Byrd's single. But WU evened the game in the third and pushed across the go-ahead run in the fourth.
 
The W had its chances, with runners on base in each of the final three frames. Maybe no opportunity was bigger than in the fifth inning, as Crawford laced a leadoff double, but was stranded.
 
Crawford, Brooklyn Rhodes, and Byrd each went 2-for-3 in game one, s MUW amassed nine total hits.
 
Rhodes was also the pitcher of record, falling to 4-5 on the season. Rhodes went 4.0 innings, gave up six hits, struck out three and walked one Red Devil. Rachel Etheridge threw 3.0 scoreless innings, scattering four hits.
 
Game two was a pitcher's duel between MUW's Trinity Garvin and WU's Madi Stitchling, with neither team breaking through for the first four frames. After the Gorloks broke open the scoring with a run in the top of the fifth, the Owls responded with a pair of runs in the home half of the inning, thanks to an RBI groundout by Gillion Eaves and a Webster fielding error that allowed Byrd to fly home with the second run.
 
MUW added insurance it would end up needing in the sixth, Etheridge's bases-loaded fielder's choice opened the door for Kaitlyn Bearley to come home from third to make it 3-1.
 
Garvin went the first 6.0 and was lifted after the first batter of the seventh reached on an error. Crawford came on in relief and, although the unearned run scored, Webster would get no more. Garvin improved her record to 5-2, while Crawford earned her first save as an Owl.
 
Three Owls had multi-hit games. Addison Owen was 2-for-3, as was Byrd. Brown went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk.
