EMU-UB Box score
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Eastern Michigan University softball team picked up an 8-6 victory in a come-from-behind slugfest against Mid-American Conference foe the University at Buffalo, during the second day of competition at the Indiana University Classic Saturday morning, here at the IU Softball Field. The contest is a non-conference game and does not count toward the MAC standings.
Junior Ashley Strauss posted a 2-for-3 game with an RBI and a run scored. Sophomore Heather Han and junior Heather Giroux each had two RBI.
Senior Kelly Tomczak (2-1) picked-up the complete game victory, recording six strikeouts. After a rocky start in the beginning of the first inning, Tomczak retired 12 Bull batters in succession spanning from the first to fifth inning.
UB jumped out an early 3-0 advantage in the first off a three-run home run by Lacy Schneider.
EMU tied the game in the fourth at 3-3 after Buffalo had some problems in the field. Freshman Jenny Scherer and Han reached on back-to-back one-out infield errors. An infield single by junior Jessica Grant loaded the bases. A sacrifice fly to left field by junior Lindsay Ritz followed by a two-run double off the wall in right-center field by Giroux knotted the game.
UB regained the lead in the fifth after an RBI single to right field gave the Bulls a 4-3 lead.
The Eagles broke the game open in the bottom of the fifth. Back-to-back one-out singles by Strauss and senior Lindsay Schmid followed by back-to-back doubles by Scherer and Han accounted for three runs. A sacrifice fly by Grant brought in the fourth run of the inning for EMU, putting the Green and White up 7-4.
The Bulls cut into the lead after adding a run in the bottom of the fifth, 7-5. EMU extended the lead back to three after a sacrifice fly by Strauss scored senior Lauren Clark. A solo home run by UB’s Collenn Greene in the seventh rounded out the scoring for the game.
The EMU softball team (4-13) will continue participating in the IU Classic later today, March 24, with a noon contest with the University of Illinois-Chicago.
