LETU Splits Pair with UST on Opening Day

LONGVIEW – LeTourneau University's softball team split a doubleheader with the University of St. Thomas Saturday on opening day. The Jackets won the opener, 3-1, before losing the nightcap, 12-11, in eight innings.
 
Callie Poore hit a two-run homer in the opener, and Isabella Tresca crushed a pinch hit grand slam in the second game.
 
Bailey Richey tossed a four hitter, giving up one run and two walks, while striking out six to win the first game. But the Jackets went through three pitchers, allowing 16 hits in the second game to hand the first-year Celts the program's first victory.
 
Madelyn Tannery went 2-for-3 in the first game, while Poore, Katelyn Trombley, Hana Bonner, Haley Claterbaugh and Jazzlynn Velasquez each collected hits for LETU.
 
Poore belted a two-run shot off Lindsey Longuet in the first inning. Velasquez drove in a run in the second inning to spot LETU a three-run lead. St. Thomas scored its one run in the seventh on an error.
 
In the second game, UST took a 6-2 lead in the top of the third inning, but Ethel Warren doubled to right center to drive in a run, and Tresca tied it with her blast. LETU tacked on four runs in the fourth, taking a 10-6 lead on Hunter Handley's single to left. But the Celts scored three runs in the fifth, one in the sixth and another in the seventh to jump back on top, 11-10. Poore doubled in a run in the bottom half of the seventh to tie it back up. But the Celts cashed in in the eighth on Taylor Le's sacrifice fly to right, and the Jackets went quietly in its half of the inning.
 
Emma Garrett and Mia Terry each collected four hits in the second game for St. Thomas. Poore and Ethel Warren had two hits, including a double apiece, and an RBI for LeTourneau. Mickenzie Murry was 1-for-4 with an RBI.
 
Longuet, who took the loss in the first game, picked up the win in relief in the nightcap, allowing a run on one hit and four walks, while striking out four in four innings of work. Jade Merrell took the loss, giving up four runs, three earned, seven hits and no walks, while fanning four. Tannery, the starter, allowed five runs, six hits and a walk in 2 1/3 innings. Alysa Torres worked an inning and two thirds, giving up three runs, two earned, three hits and three walks.
 
The YellowJackets will meet the University of Houston Victoria in a doubleheader Friday in Seguin, Texas.
