Scoring Summary
Â
Game 1
Â
1st Inning
Wright State got off to a quick start offensively. The Raiders quickly loaded the bases with three straight singles off the bat of Brianna Hutchinson, Madison Hartman, and Raidyn Johnson. Madison Whitaker followed another single and Wright State was on the board. Madison Nunez sent a long fly ball out to left for a successful sac fly and the Raiders took a 2-0 lead.
Â
2nd Inning
Lexie Hilling and Lauren Deitrick both made solid contact but two impressive defensive stops by Falcon infielders Sarah Gonzalez and Nikki Sorgi made two outs. Rebekah Lenos singled and stole second. Then, Brianna Hutchinson reached first on an infield single despite another strong defensive effort by Bowling Green. Lexie Hilling earned the start in the circle for the Raiders and tossed a scoreless second frame.
Â
5th Inning
The Falcons tied the game in the third with a single, walk, and a double. In the fourth, the Raiders threatened with two base runners but couldn't plate the go-ahead run. Olivia Otani took over in the circle in the bottom of the fourth and delivered a scoreless inning. In the fifth, the Raiders took back the lead on a Madison Nunez RBI.
