Softball Sweeps Gorillas

Joplin, Mo. – The Missouri Southern softball program swept rival Pittsburg State today inside the Pat Lipira Softball Complex.
 
Southern (10-10, 3-3 MIAA) won the first game that turned into a pitching duel 1-0. Abby Atkin went the distance limiting Gorilla (8-16, 4-4 MIAA) batters to four hits. Both teams threatened to score before Makaila Leonhart hit a two-out RBI double scoring Lynnlee Parrott in the sixth inning.
 
Pittsburg State (8-16, 4-4 MIAA)  hit a double to open up the seventh inning, but the runner was out from a relay from right field to second base and tagged out at third base. Atkin sealed the game off with a strikeout her third of the game. Atkin picked up her fifth win of the season.
 
Yazmin Vargas, Leonhart, Leighton Withers, and L. Parrott had a hit in the game.
 
Game two saw the Lions get on the board in the first and second off a Withers' single scoring Josie Tofpi before Vargas doubled home Adrianna Young. Pittsburg State notched a run in the fourth and the Lions responded by scoring two. Kara Amos scored on a passed ball and a Tori Frazier sac bunt scored Young as the Lions led 4-1.
 
Withers tripled in the fifth scoring Leonhart and a Frazier single followed by an error by the catcher scored Young to seal the 6-1 win.
 
Withers went 2-of-3 with two RBIs, Tori Frazier also had two RBIs, Young went 2-of-2 scoring three times while stealing two bases, Vargas finished 2-of-4 and stole a base. Amos was in the circle and went the distance striking out three Gorillas while picking up its fourth win of the season.
