LETU Softball Splits Doubleheader with Concordia

The LeTourneau University softball team split a doubleheader with Concordia University, losing game one – 8-2 and winning the nightcap, 6-1.

To secure the doubleheader split, LETU called on junior pitcher Courtney Matulis, to silence the Concordia bats. Matulis, who made her fifth start and first since the ETBU series (Feb. 19-20), answered with her first complete game of the season. The Harmony, Texas native raised her record to 2-1 allowing just five hits, an earned run and striking out three. She helped her own cause with her fourth-straight multi-hit game to lead the YellowJackets, scoring twice as the YellowJackets took advantage of four errors by the Tornados. For LETU freshman Kennedi Dillow added a pair of hits and sophomore Kelsie Benson had three RBIs to lead the LETU offense.
 
With the bases loaded, a ground ball hit by freshman Ashlin Roach was misplayed by the Concordia catcher to allow pair of runners to score for a 3-1 lead. Then, LETU added another run when the Tornados misplayed a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Bailey Woodard, scoring Roach from second.

LETU added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh on a two-out, two-RBI single by Benson. Earlier in the inning, the YellowJackets loaded the bases with three-straight hits. After a fielder's choice by Brianna Williams, the sophomore catcher brought in a pair for the final margin.
 
Concordia scored eight unanswered runs in game one to take the first game of the doubleheader, 8-2.
 
Williams put the YellowJackets ahead 2-0 in the top of the first with a two-RBI triple to right field. Earlier in the inning, LETU started a one out rally with a Matulis walk and a bloop single by LETU senior Megan Hill put runners on first and second. After a fielder's choice, Williams hit a ball to deep right field to score Hill and senior Rachel Gauspohl for an early 2-0 lead.

Concordia came back in its half of the first scoring three times on four hits to take a 3-2 lead. They added to their lead with a two run second and a run each in the third, fourth and fifth en route to the 8-2 win. In the third, fifth and seventh inning, LETU had a pair of base runners stranded as they were kept off the scoreboard.
 
Tornados' lead-off hitter Haley Dennett paced a 11-hit attack with three hits and Angelica Arroyo and Olivia Kaase each added two. Brooke Jones had three of the five RBIs in the win. Concordia starting pitcher Shelby Burrus went the distance, striking out four, scattering seven hits to even her record at 3-3.
 
The YellowJackets will look for its third ASC series in Sunday's series finale at noon.
