CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Bowling Green softball team managed just two hits in a 7-1 loss to Rutgers University Saturday (March 25). The game, part of the University of Virginia's Hoo's Who Tournament, was held in Charlottesville, Va.
The Scarlet Knights benefitted from five Falcon errors in the game, and six of the seven Rutgers runs were unearned. RU got on the board with three runs in the top of the second inning. Just one of those runs was earned off of BGSU starter and loser McKenna Houle.
The Falcons scored the team's only run of the game in the third frame. Sophomore Renee Rosemeier led off the inning with a single to left field. She moved to second on a wild pitch, then took third on a sacrifice by classmate Natalie Phillips. Rosemeier scored on an infield grounder by junior Angie Domschot.
The Scarlet Knights, who improved to 3-3 on the season, scored once in the fifth and three times in the sixth, all off reliever Jessie Milosek. The sophomore, the third BG pitcher in the game, gave up four hits and no earned runs in four-and-two-thirds innings.
In addition to Milosek and Houle, who surrendered three runs (one earned) in an inning and two thirds, sophomore Rebekah Tipton also pitched in the game. Tipton threw two-thirds of an inning and did not give up a run.
Other than Rosemeier's single in the third, BG's only other hit was a double by freshman Liz Tuza in the seventh inning.
The Falcons dropped to 12-5 with the loss, heading into Saturday's second game, against Penn State.
