SHAWNEE, Okla. – Fort Hays State Softball recorded its third-straight split on Friday (Feb. 14) in a pair of games in Oklahoma, part of an abbreviated Raising Cane’s Softball Festival for the Tigers. The Tigers matched up against a pair of NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago. FHSU fell to Oklahoma Baptist 2-0 in its first contest of the day, but bounced back for a 6-2 win over Southern Arkansas. FHSU is now 3-3 overall for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oklahoma Baptist 2, Fort Hays State 0<\/strong>
The Tigers and Bison were locked in a pitching duel throughout the first contest of the day. Savanah Egger<\/a><\/dfn>was in the circle for FHSU, while Jaycee Shaffer threw for OBU. Shaffer came out on the winning end after a 2-run home run that snuck just inside the left field foul pole produced the only two runs of the game in the bottom of the sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Shaffer and Egger threw complete games. Shaffer recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts and allowed just three hits to the Tigers, while walking just one. She moved to 3-0 on the season. Egger finished with five hits, two walks allowed, and six strikeouts in her 6.0 innings of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lefty Greenlee Wells hit the 2-run homer for OBU, pushing a ball down the left field line in the sixth that barely stayed fair. Lilliana Ramirez-Johnson<\/a><\/dfn> had two of the three hits for FHSU, while Madison Pierce<\/a><\/dfn> had the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State 6, Southern Arkansas 2<\/strong>
The Tigers bounced back in second game to knock off a Mulerider team that entered at 8-3 overall on the season, including a win over a top-10 ranked team so far this season. Morgan Schmidt<\/a><\/dfn> had another great performance in the pitching circle, throwing her third complete game of the season and staying right on her earned run average of 2.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schmidt carved up SAU batters with a season-high nine strikeouts, while working around four hits and four walks. Her only blemish on the scoreboard was a two-run homer allowed to Regan Dillon in the fifth, which at the time tightened FHSU’s lead to 3-2. However, she buckled down the final two innings and saw her squad give her three insurance runs in the sixth. Schmidt moved to 2-1 on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers started their scoring in the first when a Jules Bosco<\/a><\/dfn> walk eventually led to a Madison Pierce<\/a><\/dfn> RBI single. FHSU tacked on two more runs in the second when Regan Curry<\/a><\/dfn> and Lexi Mohr<\/a><\/dfn> had back-to-back doubles to produce the first run and Kaydawn Haag<\/a><\/dfn>added an RBI single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohr and Haag would be involved in more run scoring for the Tigers in the sixth. Marisela Landa<\/a><\/dfn> opened the inning by getting hit by a pitch and Curry followed with a single. Mohr delivered her second RBI double of the game, Curry scored on a wild pitch, and Haag added a sac fly RBI to polish off the Tiger rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead on the schedule for the Tigers is the Washburn Invitational in Topeka next weekend (Feb. 21-23). The Tigers are scheduled to play games at both the Lake Shawnee complex and Gahnstrom Field (home of Washburn softball). The Tigers have a mix of six games on the slate against teams from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) and Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
