Bearcats come up short in home MIAA twinbill with Lopers

MARYVILLE, Mo.– The Nebraska-Kearney Lopers swept a conference doubleheader Monday afternoon against the Northwest Missouri State University Bearcat softball team.
 
The Lopers won game one, 12-4, and they also took game two, 4-1.  
 
Northwest drops to 5-17 (0-2 MIAA), while Nebraska-Kearney improves to 7-12 (2-0 MIAA)
 
GAME ONE 
The Lopers posted a 12-4 victory over the Bearcats in the opening game. 
 
Kearney started off by hitting a two-run home run in the top of the first. The Bearcats were held scoreless until the bottom of the second when Madison Friest homered to cut the lead to 2-1 heading into the top of the third.  
 
The Bearcats brought in two more runs with Olivia Daugherty and Lauren Gray each bringing in a run to take a 3-2 lead going into the fourth inning. Abby Nolte recorded an RBI in the bottom of the fourth to extend the Bearcat lead to 4-2. 
 
The Lopers scored one run in the top of the fifth to cut the Northwest lead to 4-3. In the top of the sixth, Kearney regained their first lead since the first inning scoring five runs to take an 8-4 lead.
In the final inning, the Lopers added four more runs to extend their lead to 12-4. 
 
Breck Dickey took the loss as she pitched 5 2/3 innings. Dickey gave up eight runs, all of them earned. 
 
Christina Campbell pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up four runs, all of them earned. 
 
GAME TWO 
Nebraska-Kearney was able to get the series sweep in game two of the doubleheader with a score of 4-1.
 
The Lopers began the second game just as they ended the first. They took a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning, and then added two more runs in the top of the third making the lead 4-0.
 
In the bottom of the third, Northwest's Skylar Pieper brought in an RBI for the Bearcats's first score of the game cutting the Loper lead to 4-1.
 
That would be the last of the runs for the day by either team.
 
Hayden Simmons suffered the loss giving up four hits and four runs, all earned.
