Bulldog Softball Creeps Closer To Locking Up GLVC Spot

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – The Truman State Softball team inched closer to securing their spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference postseason tournament with a split against Maryville (Mo.) on Saturday. A nine-run third inning propelled the Bulldogs to a 12-0 win in the opener, but the Saints grabbed the nightcap 3-2.

Truman State will host Missouri-St. Louis on Sunday in the regular season finale with a one-game lead over Southwest Baptist for the final tournament spot. The Bulldogs hold the edge, having swept the Bearcats earlier this season.

The Bulldogs made the Saints pay for their miscues in the third inning, which resulted in nine runs crossing the plate. Leadoff walks to Maddie Hickman and Kyleia Salyers rolled the lineup to the top, and a dropped fly ball loaded the bases. Nina Fenasci drew a run-scoring walk, and Emily Wood followed with a two-run single.

The parade continued with walks issued to two of the next three hitters before Charlotte Chelich knocked a two-run single through the right side to make it 6-0. The Bulldogs scored nine runs on only three hits.

Truman added three more runs in the fourth on a steal of home by Wood, a score by Lily Arndt on a wild pitch, and a single by Hickman.

Chelich pitched four innings, not allowing a run while striking out four.

Game two came down to the wire.

Early troubles led to three runs for the Saints, with a single and a hit-by-pitch both coming around to score in the top of the first, and a leadoff double touching home on a second hit batsman. The Bulldogs managed to escape both innings without giving up additional runs.

The Bulldogs had baserunners in three of the first four innings but came up empty. In the fifth, Salyers smacked a one-out single, and Madi McCarty drew a walk. After a lineout to center, Fenasci came up clutch with a two-run single to pull the Bulldogs to within one.

After throwing out a potential insurance runner at home in the top of the seventh on a double steal play, Hickman started the bottom of the inning with a single to left. Ryleigh Jones pinch-ran and moved up on a sac bunt, but two groundouts on the infield ended the game.
