Softball drops a pair of OAC games at Muskingum

NEW CONCORD, Ohio — Muskingum University swept an Ohio Athletic Conference softball doubleheader from Marietta College Wednesday (Apr. 8) afternoon. The Muskies won game one, 6-5, and then took game two, 9-8 in 10 innings. Marietta is now 14-12 overall and 3-5 in the OAC. Muskingum improves to 20-4 overall and 5-1 in the OAC.
 
Muskingum used a five-run third inning to build a 6-2 lead in the first game. Emily Rodman capped the rally with a two-run home run. Kasey Timko and Bethany Rodman each had RBI singles in the inning.
 
Marietta got on the board in the second inning on a double down the left field line from Camryn Campbell (Ontario, Ohio/Lexington) that scored Katie Sweeney (Alexandria, N.H./Newfound Regional). Sweeney drove in a run in the third inning.
 
The Pioneers got within a run with three more in the fifth inning. Grace Elliott (Akron, Ohio/Green) got things rolling with a run-scoring single. Sweeney scored later in the inning on a successful first and third double steal. Elliott scored the final run of the rally on a ground our off the bat of Mallory Gorgacz (Edinburg, Pa./Union Area).
 
Aiyana Hancock (Marietta, Ohio/Warren Local) (3-3) started in the circle and got the loss. She gave up six runs on eight hits in 2.0 innings of work. Kylie Cobb (Oxford, Ohio/Talawanda) threw the final 4.0 innings and allowed no runs on just one hit.
