SB Recap: Bulldogs Break Out Bats in Run-Rule Win

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. - - Junior catcher Lex Van Nostrand belted two home runs, including a grand slam, as part of a four home run barrage by the Truman State University softball team on Friday afternoon, as the Bulldogs opened the Music City Invitational with an 8-0, six-inning victory against Huntington (Ind.).
 
The Bulldogs (4-5), put a run on the board in the first inning when redshirt senior third baseman Cate Simon's RBI groundout plated sophomore Riley Cook. Then, in the second, sophomore Ashley Murphy led off the inning with her first long ball of the year before three straight singles by senior Whitney Richardson, freshman Michaela Mooney, and Cook brought Van Nostrand to the plate with the bags full. She then brought everyone home with a grand slam, pushing Truman's lead to 5-0.
 
Van Nostrand then homered in her next at-bat – a solo shot in the fourth – before a Simon solo home run in the bottom of the sixth ended the game, as the Bulldogs captured the eight-run shutout victory.
 
The top two hitters in Truman's lineup, Cook and Van Nostrand, went a combined 6-for-8, with Van Nostrand adding five RBI. Simon and Murphy each tacked on two hits apiece, with both of Simons resulting in an RBI. Truman finished with 13 hits on the day, while two pitchers – senior Kindra Henze and freshman Lauren Dale – combined to toss a three-hitter, striking out five. Henze notched her first win of the season as well, throwing four innings to Dale's two.
 
Truman returns to action on Saturday with two more games, as the Bulldogs take on weekend host Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) at 11 a.m. before facing Ohio Dominican at 3 p.m. Live stats for both games will be made available on the softball schedule page at TrumanBulldogs.com.
