Cougar Softball Makes No. 17 St. Scholastica Work

Though the Saints were able to sweep Saturday’s doubleheader, it was not without a challenge from the Cougars.

DULUTH, Minn. – The University of Minnesota Morris softball team put up a good fight on Saturday in a road doubleheader at No. 17 College of St. Scholastica. The Saints were able to pull out wins by scores of 7-4 and 6-0, but the Cougars were in each game much of the way against their nationally-ranked foe. 

Now 9-21 (3-9 UMAC), Minnesota Morris returns home to wrap up the regular season on Wednesday afternoon with a doubleheader against the University of Northwestern beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Game One: St. Scholastica 7, Minnesota Morris 4
An Olivia Diver home run gave Minnesota Morris a brief lead in the top of the first, but five errors proved costly as the game continued forward.

St. Scholastica tied the game up at 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning and then took a 2-1 lead in the third with sacrifice flies driving in both runs. The fifth inning was when it fell apart for Minnesota Morris as the Cougars committed three errors and the Saints pounded out six hits to score a total of five runs to take a 7-1 lead.

UMN Morris kept scrapping and pulled one run back in the sixth when Autumn Theis reached on an error and pinch-runner Allison Pohlmann was driven in by a Morgan Mathews double. The Cougars loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh and scored runs on a wild pitch and a Tori Nichols-Kraft RBI single before St. Scholastica struck out the side to end the threat.

Game Two: St. Scholastica 6, Minnesota Morris 0
Eight Minnesota Morris runners were stranded by St. Scholastica pitching as the Saints earned the shutout in game two behind Olivia Howe. 

A scoreless deadlock was ended in the bottom of the third as the Saints put two runs on the board with a Minnesota Morris wild pitch and a sac fly from Howe. St. Scholastica had four singles to bring two more runs across in the fourth inning.

The Cougars played an error-free game until the bottom of the sixth. The one error the Cougars made led to a pair of unearned runs to push the lead to 6-0.

Eleanore Steinhouse and Jasmine Jensen each had a pair of hits in the game for the Cougars.
