FORT MYERS, Fla (fgcuathletics.com) – The FGCU softball team (1-3) split a pair of games with #21 UCF Sunday afternoon. The Eagles claimed the first game in dramatic fashion, 3-2, before falling in the second game, 8-5.
"We split today when you take a look at the results but when you look at the level of play, we were up to the challenge," said head coach David Deiros. "I'm really enthusiastic about that going into this weekend and preparing for our FGCU Invitational.
Game 1 | FGCU 3, # 21 UCF 2
The 21st-ranked Knights took a 2-0 lead having scored a run in the first and third innings. Georgia Blair gave her squad a 2-0 lead after hitting one off the right-field foul pole.
Leading up to the sixth frame, FGCU had only registered two of its five hits. Johneisha Rowe (Avon Park, Fla./Sebring HS) started the inning with a walk as Hannah Shemansky (Lakeland, Fla./Santa Fe Catholic) singled down the left-field line. With none away, pitcher Taylor Bauman (Jacksonville,Fla./Atlantic Coast HS) drilled a 2-1 pitch to right-center for the 3-2 advantage.
In the final top half, UCF was able to get a runner on but a fly out to center and a grounder to third base capped off the upset victory for the Eagles. Besides her performance at the plate, Bauman tossed a complete game, scattering six hits, giving up just one earned run en route to her first win of the young season.
Game 2 | #21 UCF 8, FGCU 5
Rowe produced a leadoff single and stole second base to get the offense going. Two batters later with two away, Hope Hernandez (Tampa, Fla./Chamberlain HS/Troy) dropped a single just over the out-stretched glove of the second baseman, scoring Rowe from second.
UCF tied the ballgame in the top of the fourth but FGCU responded to snag the 2-1 lead. Hernandez drove a leadoff double to left-center. Facing one out, Farley Callaghan (Ponte Vedra, Fla./Ponte Vedra HS) singled to left, putting runners on the corners. Up next, Reedy Davenport (St. Johns, Fla./Bartram Trail HS) reached on a fielder's choice to bring Hernandez home.
The Knights tacked on three runs in the top of the fifth for the 4-2 lead as Marissa Mesiemore (Bushnell,Fla./Bushnell HS) brought the game to a one-score affair, connecting on a solo shot to left – her first hit of the year. UCF's bats remained hot in the next half, registering four runs, thanks to a pair of home runs.
The ball continued to fly out of the park, this time in the bottom of the sixth, a two-run shot from Jordyn Gendron (Tampa,Fla./Wharton HS). It was not enough as the Knights came out on top, 8-5. Hernandez and Rowe each finished with two hits as Mesiemore now moves to 0-2 in the circle.
