Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) softball Centenary College
Game One (6-2)
SAGU was the first to put runs on the board in the top of the fourth inning. Destinee Vindiola singled to second base. Kristen Stringer grounded out to third, but advanced Vindiola to second. Next, Vindiola stole third, putting her in position to score off of Brittany Livingston’s single.
CC followed-up by scoring run one in both the fifth and sixth inning. SAGU went into the seventh having to score at least one to tie, and they were able to do just that after Ashlynn Stanfill singled down the right field line, scoring Kaitlyn Canales (with an unearned run).
In the bottom of the seventh, SAGU forced three straight outs, sending the game into extra innings. SAGU had a huge inning in the top of the eighth, scoring four runs off of one hit and one CC error.
“ Ashlynn Stanfill and Kaitlyn Canales both had great offensive days,” explains SAGU Head Coach Sarah Harman , “They helped to propel our offense and we pushed across enough runs in extra innings of game one.”
Ashlynn Stanfill went two for three with one RBI at the plate. Destinee Vindiola scored two runs for SAGU.
SAGU’s Rachel Ray pitched the full eight innings. She had nine strike-outs and only four hits.
Game Two (5-3)
Going into the top of the sixth inning, Centenary was ahead 3-0. The Lady Lions were able to tie the score at 3-all. SAGU scored their three runs off of three hits and one error by Centenary. The Lady Lions stranded two on base.
Centenary hit two big doubles in the bottom of the sixth, scoring two runs.
The Lady Lions couldn’t get anything going in the top of the seventh and were unable to score.
Vindiola once again led at the plate for SAGU. She went one for three, scoring one run. Hannah Lee pitched all six innings.
