WEATHERFORD, Okla. – The Bulldogs dropped a pair of games to Southeastern Oklahoma State at the Athletic Complex on Sunday afternoon. The first game, which saw a one hour and 34 minute rain delay, ended 2-1. The second game finished 16-4 in five innings in favor of the Savage Storm.
Game 1: SOSU 2, SWOSU 1Box Score It was a defensive battle in the first game as
Taylor Eaves faced off with Jessica Seay in the circle. Jacee Bennett pitched in relief of Seay, and all three pitchers combined to just give up three runs in seven innings.
SWOSU got on the board in the first inning when
Tori Hawk doubled to centerfield to drive in
Adrienne Martinez. Eaves pitched five scoreless innings before the Savage Storm managed to plate two runs in the top of the sixth.
With SWOSU facing one last out in the bottom of the seventh, the rain began to pour and delayed the game for over an hour and a half. Following the delay, Hawk, who had recorded a 3-0 count before the delay, faced off with Seay, who had come back in to finish the game. Hawk was walked, but was caught stealing soon after to end the game.
Eaves took her sixth loss of the season as a result of the game. SWOSU recorded eight hits, with Martinez and
Miranda McDonald both collecting a pair of hits, but left eight runners stranded.
