Late Inning Heroics Lifts Softball In Extra Innings, Forces Doubleheader Split


STORM LAKE, Iowa (April 27, 2021) - The Nebraska Wesleyan softball team (11-17, 9-11 A-R-C) used an error to score the tying run with two outs in the seventh inning to force extra innings then added an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning to win game two, 2-1, against Buena Vista (15-14, 7-10 A-R-C) and split a doubleheader. The Beavers won the day's first game, 2-0.

Game One Recap
Nebraska Wesleyan's Kailey Meyer hit a two-out single down the left field line to score Hanna Roth from second base in the top of the ninth inning. Roth's run off of Meyer's RBI single proved to be enough to win the game. The Prairie Wolves forced BVU into back-to-back flyouts before stranding the tying run at first base on a pop-up to Taylor Styskal at first base.

Down to its last out in the top of the seventh inning, NWU found life when an error allowed, pinch hitter, Rachel Mundt to reach first base. After Mollie Grant entered the game as a pinch runner, Hanna Roth drew a walk. With Grant and Roth on base, Buena Vista committed its second error in the inning, which allowed Emma Alfieri to reach base and Grant to score from second base. Styskal drew a walk to load the bases in the next at-bat prior to BVU escaping the inning on a strikeout. 

After five and a half scoreless inning, the Beavers plated the game's first run on an error after they hit a triple. NWU responded by retiring the next three batters then tied the game in the top of the seventh inning. Meyer and Bailey Green combined to allow one unearned run with only two walks over nine innings. The win snapped Nebraska Wesleyan's four-game losing skid.

Game Two Recap
A defensive display highlighted game one as both teams combined for eight hits and zero errors. The Prairie Wolves held Buena Vista hitless in the second, fourth, and fifth innings and only allowed three baserunners to get past first base until the sixth inning. BVU broke the scoreless tie in the sixth inning with two runs as Kailey Meyer threw a complete game. It was Meyer's 11th complete game of the season.

What's Next
Nebraska Wesleyan returns home for its final regular-season series of the season on Friday, April 30 against Central College. Game one is scheduled for 2 p.m. at University Place in Lincoln.
