LETU Softball Falls At Sul Ross State On Getaway Day

ALPINE, Texas – Falling behind by a score of 5-0 after the first inning of play, the LeTourneau University softball team would be unable to pick up a win on getaway day against Sul Ross State University, falling 14-0 in five innings at Lady Lobo Field in Alpine, Texas on Saturday, March 9th.
 
LETU now sits at 10-6 overall and 8-4 in the American Southwest Conference while the Lobos picked up their seventh victory of the year to move to 7-6 overall and 5-6 in the ASC.
 
The YellowJackets would be held hitless in the first inning and would see a potent SRSU offense score five runs on four hits with the Lobos stringing together four hits and a bases-loaded walk with one out to do most of their damage in the opening frame.
 
LeTourneau be unable to take advantage of a leadoff single from Haydn Parker in the top of the second as Sul Ross would manage to end the inning without seeing the YellowJackets move a runner past first before breaking the game open for good with nine runs on nine hits in the bottom of the second inning to go up 14-0.
 
Trying to get back into the game any way they could, LETU would be unable to capitalize on a one-out triple from Emilee Anderson but would hold SRSU scoreless in the bottom of the third. Only two hits would be recorded in the final two innings of play (one by each team) as the YellowJackets would never truly be able to put together any offensive momentum in the contest which would allow the Lobos to take the series two games to one.
 
Outhit 15-3, LETU would see their three hits come from Anderson (two) and Parker (one) as Parker would also reach on a walk in the game. LeTourneau would also use a trio of pitchers in the contest with Samantha Akers (1.1 innings), Leigh Luker (0.2 innings), and Bailey Richey (2.0 innings) all seeing action in the circle.
 
Continuing their spring break trip, LETU will make a detour to Seguin, Texas to take on Transylvania University in a 4 p.m. neutral-site contest on the campus of Texas Lutheran University. The Pioneers earned their first NFCA Division III Top 25 ranking of the season this past week, entering the poll at number 23 in the nation while holding a 2-0 overall record.
