Green Terror takes opener 9-8 in late rally
FREDERICK, Md. – Megan Elfert (Finksburg,
Md./Westminster) rapped out four hits for McDaniel in a
doubleheader split with Hood in non-conference softball action on
Wednesday.
The Green Terror (16-24) took the opener 9-8 with a pair of
seventh-inning runs before the Blazers (17-23) forged the split
with an 8-5 victory in game two.
Brittni Jones went 3-for-5 to lead Hood in the
nightcap win.
Trailing 8-7 after an Erin McNally RBI double
and Jordan Wolford two-run home run keyed a
three-run sixth inning for the Blazers, Lauren Toomey
(Pottsville, Pa./Pottsville Area) led off the seventh with
a single up the middle.
With two outs, Ashley Crawford (New Market,
Md./Linganore) drew a walk before an outfield error
allowed both runners to score and give McDaniel a one-run lead.
Erinne Warrenfeltz (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown)
pitched around a two-out infield single in the bottom of the inning
for her sixth win of the year.
A Lauren Wildasin (Thurmont, Md./Catoctin)
two-out, two-run single staked the Green Terror to a 3-0 lead in
the top of the first inning before Hood sent 10 batters to the
plate in the bottom of the frame to take a 4-3 advantage.
Three walks, including a Bridgette Ringley pass
with the bases loaded, and four singles keyed the inning.
A Samantha Staub (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) RBI
single in the second plated Jordan Beans (Hanover,
Pa./Hanover) to even the game at 4-all.
Wildasin drew a walk to lead off the third inning before
stealing second and scoring on a Crawford double for a 5-4
lead.
After Crawford stole third, she scored on an RBI groundout to
stretch the lead to 6-4.
A Wolford single and Rachael Potts sacrifice
fly sliced the deficit in half after five innings but a Beans
single and Warrenfeltz sacrifice fly stretched the lead back to two
in the sixth.
In game two, Hood jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first two
innings.
Kelly Gaffner's two-run double in the
first accounted for the Blazers' two runs in that frame
before Sabol led off the second with a home run to spark the
three-run frame.
A walk to Lindsey Blohm (Bel Air, Md./Toms River North
[N.J.]) and Beans RBI single pulled the visitors within
5-1 in the third but a hit batter and error stretched the lead to
6-1 in the bottom of the frame.
Back-to-back doubles from Elfert and Warrenfeltz after a Blohm
single and Beans sacrifice fly made it a 6-3 game in the top of the
fifth but Hood countered with a single run on singles by
Taylor Grimmell and Ringley.
A Blohm two-run home run in the top of the sixth trimmed the
deficit to 7-5 but a Potts double and Sabol RBI single set the
final margin in the bottom of the frame.
