Hawai’i Tops Softball In Spring Fling Tournament Opener
March 07, 2018 | Softball
Box Score (PDF)
HONOLULU, Hawai'i – The ECU softball team opened the Hawai'i Spring Fling Tournament Wednesday night with a 9-0 five-inning loss to the host Rainbow Wahine in Honolulu.
Team Records
ECU: 6-15
Hawai'i: 11-8
Pitchers of Record
WP – Dana Thomsen (6-4)
LP – Erin Poepping (3-6)
How It Happened: Hawai'i scored the game's first runs in the bottom of the second. Callee Keen doubled then scored with one out on a RBI single by Britnee Rossi. The Rainbow Wahine ended up plating four runs (three unearned) on five hits and two ECU errors to grab early control. The Pirates had a chance to answer right away, loading the bases with one out after three consecutive singles, but a pop up to first and a swinging strikeout left ECU empty handed and still trailing by four.
Hawai'i extended its lead in the bottom of the third, scoring five runs on four hits – including a two-run home run off the bat of Jennifer Iseri – to move in front 9-0. The Pirates loaded the bases with one out once more in the top of the fourth, but a swinging strikeout and fly ball to right ended the frame with no runs across. ECU went down in order in the top of the fifth to end the game.
