LWC Softball sweeps MSC doubleheader at Cumberland By Charles Balcom LEBANON, TN (Tue 22 Mar 2016) – The Lindsey Wilson softball team swept a Mid-South Conference doubleheader at Cumberland (TN) on Tuesday afternoon. The 11th-ranked Blue Raiders (18-10, 3-3 MSC) won the opener 12-0 in a run-rule shortened, five-inning game before holding on for the 7-5 victory in the nightcap over the Phoenix (6-16, 2-4 MSC). GAME 1: LWC 12. Cumberland 0 Lindsey Wilson scored nine runs in the top of the fifth inning to bring an early end to their 12-0 opening-game victory. The Blue Raiders led 3-0 after the first two innings, scoring twice in the first and once in the second. Bailey Mize opened the scoring with a two-RBI single that scored Cassie Kooker, who tripled earlier in the inning, and Callum Pilgrim, who reached on a walk. Kooker then hit an RBI single in the top of the second to make it a 3-0 game. The third and fourth innings went by scoreless before Lindsey Wilson exploded for nine runs in the fifth. Amanda McIver opened the scoring with an RBI single, followed by a two-RBI double by Amber Foukes to make it 6-0. Jenna Firestein then singled with the bases loaded to score one, followed by a groundout by Kooker to score another. Pilgrim then stepped to the plate and smacked a three-run home run and Sydney Fourman followed suit with a solo bomb to make it a 12-0 affair. Lyndsey Parden then closed out the game in the bottom of the fifth with three strikeouts to secure the complete-game shutout victory. Parden allowed just two hits in the contest, one in the second and one in the third, as she struck out nine to improve to 9-3 on the season. GAME 2: LWC 7. Cumberland 5 Cumberland bounced back with a hot start to the nightcap, taking an early 2-0 lead over Lindsey Wilson in the bottom of the second after a two-run home run by Tessa Tomaselli. But the Blue Raiders had an answer in the next half inning with a long ball of their own when Mize sent a three-run shot deep with two outs to put Lindsey Wilson ahead 3-2, a lead they would not relinquish. Fourman tacked on two more with her second home run of the day in the form of a two-run shot in the top of the fifth to extend the lead to 5-2. Lindsey Wilson added their final two insurance runs in the top of the sixth on an RBI single by Pilgrim and an RBI walk by Mize with the bases loaded to make it a 7-2 contest. The Phoenix made one final push in the bottom of the seventh as they scored three runs on three hits and one Blue Raider error, but a line out ended the contest to give Lindsey Wilson the 7-5 victory. Casey Bryan picked up the win in the circle to improve to 8-6 on the year. She allowed two runs on two hits in her three and 1/3 innings. Parden entered the game in relief of Bryan in the fourth and closed out the final three and 2/3 innings allowing three runs, two earned, on six hits with seven strikeouts to pick up her second save of the season. Mize finished with RBIs in the doubleheader while Pilgrim had four. Firestein, Kooker and McIver each had four hits on the day.
