Midway softball splits doubleheader with Brescia

MIDWAY, Ky. - Midway pulled away for a run-rule win in game one before leaving the tying run at third in game two of a River States Conference softball doubleheader split against Brescia Saturday afternoon.

GAME ONE: MIDWAY 12, BRESCIA 4 (FIVE INNINGS)

A sloppy game that featured seven combined errors in the first two innings turned in the bottom of the third inning. With the score tied at 3-3, Tenley Gilbert completed an at-bat that had six foul balls with an inside-the-park home run.

Hitting a roller to right field, the ball seemed to hit a rough patch of grass that killed its momentum before it got to the wall, this gave the speedy Gilbert a chance to round third by virtue of a slow relay throw and easily score the go-ahead run.

The Eagles then scored three more times in the fourth inning and four more in the fifth, with the last two runs coming home on the Bearcats' sixth fielding error.

Gilbert, Ryann Berger and Kennadi Thompson all had two RBIs, with Gilbert, Thompson and Sawyer Snodgrass all scoring two runs. After being called in in the third inning, Breanna Beach didn't allow a hit in three innings of relief to get the win.

GAME TWO: BRESCIA 4, MIDWAY 3

The Eagles scored on a Thompson sacrifice fly in the first inning, then were held without a run in their next five at-bats, even having Payton Baum thrown out at home on a bang-bang play to end the sixth.

But a rally quickly formed with one out in the seventh, with Midway trailing 4-1. Gilbert singled and stole second, Berger was hit by a pitch then Snodgrass completed a 4-for-4 game at the plate by singling home Gilbert to make it 4-2.

A stolen base put runners on second and third before Thompson had another RBI to cut the deficit to one on a groundout.

With the tying run at third base, Sierra Bittner made great contact to right field, but unfortunately lined the ball right into the glove of Katy Fisher, halting the rally one run short.

Both teams are 5-11 in the RSC with the Eagles now at 10-18 overall. They are on the road for an RSC doubleheader against Oakland City (Ind.) on Tuesday, beginning at 3 p.m.
