THE RUNDOWN: GAME 1
Final Score: UW-River Falls: 4, Marietta 3
Location: Kissimmee, Florida
Record: UWRF: 4-8, Marietta 5-8
 
WHAT HAPPENED
  • In one of the closest games this year, UWRF was able to come from behind to win by scoring three runs in the top of the sixth inning. Kaia Dorn was the hero; she brought two runs home with a double to put the Falcons ahead for good.
  • Marietta took the first lead of the game in the bottom of the first. After a walk and a steal to second, Marietta knocked a single to left field and went up 1-0. The next batter added to the lead with a double, putting UWRF behind 2-0.
  • After just one hit in the first two innings, UWRF sustained offense in the third. Dorn singled to begin the inning. The bases were eventually loaded with just one out.
  • After a foul out, the Falcons got on the board when Emma Steiner reached on an error. UWRF left the bases loaded after a force out at third ended the inning with the Falcons down 2-1.     
  • After going down in order in the third, Marietta added to their lead in the fourth. With a leadoff walk, Marietta scored an unearned run after an error, pushing the lead to 3-1.
  • The top of the sixth was where UWRF made the magic happen. It started with Mady Bunnell reaching on an error, then a single by Shannan Borchardt put two on with no outs.
  • After a passed ball advanced the runners, Senour flied out to right field which brought home DoniBrooke Ross, who pinch ran for Bunnell.
  • Ali Murray then walked, and advanced to second, making her the go-ahead score in scoring position.
  • Dorn then stepped up and made the big hit to left field. Murray and Borchardt were able to come home for UWRF.
  • It was then time for the Falcons to come up big on the defensive end with two innings of work still to be done. Griswold finished her sixth inning of work, keeping Marietta off the board.
  • Studnicka then came in at the start of the bottom of the seventh for the save. She allowed one single, but the runner did not advance before a fly out and a grounder that secured the win for UWRF.

  • Payton Speckel started the game for UWRF. She lasted two and two-third innings before being replaced by Maddie Studnicka and then Carolyn Griswold wrapped it up for the Falcons.
  • Springfield scored two runs right away, with two singles to start the game. Both runners would eventually score to make it 2-0.
  • The Falcons would have chances in the first inning as well with two Springfield errors. UWRF had runners on second and third with two outs, but were unable to bring anyone home.
  • Springfield scored two more in the second, including one run on a wild pitch to make the score 4-0.
  • UWRF was able to get on the board in the bottom of the sixth with a leadoff single by Noelle Senour. Erin Ralph then pitch ran for Senour. Ralph came home on a sacrifice fly by Ali Murray.
