Softball Upset Bid Falls Short as Dawgs Drop Saturday’s Twinbill


WEATHERFORD, Okla. – SWOSU Softball fell to No. 4-ranked Southern Arkansas twice on Saturday to go winless against the Muleriders for the weekend. After a hard fought 1-0 loss in the day's opening game, the Bulldogs dropped game two by a final of 12-4.
 
The Dawgs (10-14, 4-10 GAC) will be on the road the next two weekends, first at Arkansas-Monticello next week and then Southern Nazarene the week following.  
 
Game One
Box Score (html)
Southern Arkansas 1, SWOSU 0
 
It was missed opportunities for the Bulldogs that was the theme of game one, as they were shutout in Saturday's opening game despite having eight baserunners throughout the game including multiple times with runners in scoring position with less than two outs. SWOSU was only able to collect two hits in the game, one from Taya Haney and the other from Miranda McDonald – both singles.
 
Haney got off to a shaky start in the circle, but after loading the bases with one out pitched her way out of the jam to only concede one run in the first inning. That run would be all the Muleriders would get the rest of the way, as Haney would hold the conference's top hitting team to just four hits while striking out eight Muleriders in the process. The tough luck loss moves her record to 3-5 on the season.
 
Game Two
Box Score (html)
Southern Arkansas 12, SWOSU 4  
 
SWOSU again lacked offense in the second game in the early going, spotting the Muleriders 10 runs before finally having three of their own cross home plate in the fourth and fifth innings. After only getting a single run in game one, the Mulerider offense exploded to score 12 runs on Dawg pitchers Rileigh Ricken and Kaytlin Donaldson while also tallying 14 hits. In the seventh and final inning, SWOSU managed to  
 
SAU did the bulk of their damage in their half of the fourth inning when they put up an eight spot on six hits and an error. Taylor Eaves was the third and final arm to throw in the circle in the contest, holding the Muleriders scoreless in her first 1.1 innings before allowing two runs on back-to-back solo homeruns in the seventh.
