Early leads vanish for GU softball on the road at Keystone

LA PLUME, Pa. – The Gallaudet University softball team was swept by Keystone College in a United East conference doubleheader at Edmunds Field here Saturday afternoon, as the Bison fell 18-2 in five innings and 6-4 in the second game.

Game 1: Keystone 18, Gallaudet 2 (F/5)
In the first inning, the Bison struck first and scored two runs against the Giants. First-year outfielder Sammie Howell (Columbus, Mont.) drove in a run with an RBI groundout, and sophomore pitcher Kinsley Bond (Beulaville, N.C.) followed with an RBI single to right field to give Gallaudet an early 2-0 lead.

Keystone responded with a 10-run outburst in the bottom of the first, as the Giants capitalized on Gallaudet miscues that included four walks, three errors, and seven wild pitches. The Giants continued to build their lead with eight additional runs over the next two innings and never looked back, as the game ended in the fifth inning due to the eight-run mercy rule.

Bond (0-3) took the loss on the mound as she completed 1.2 innings before sophomore Olivia Wascher (Noblesville, Ind.) came on in relief.

Game 2: Keystone 6, Gallaudet 4
Gallaudet's bats came alive in game two as the Bison pounded out 12 hits. The buff and blue jumped out to an early 3-0 lead over the first two innings. Senior pitcher Lacey Drolsbaugh (Lansdale, Pa.) got things started with an RBI double down the left field line, followed by an RBI single through the left side from Bond. In the second inning, Howell added to the lead with an RBI single through the right side.

Keystone (4-12, 2-6 United East) responded with three runs in the bottom of the second inning, with two of the runs coming on wild pitches. The Giants then took control in the bottom of the sixth inning with a go-ahead RBI single, followed by a two-run single to extend their lead to 6-3.

Gallaudet (4-15, 0-7 United East) rallied in the seventh as Drolsbaugh recorded an RBI single, but the game ended when Howell was tagged out at home after Bond lined out to third base, resulted in a 6-4 loss.
In the circle, Drolsbaugh (4-7) took the loss after she struck out five batters and allowed four earned runs over six innings.

Bond finished the day with four hits, followed by Drolsbaugh with three hits, which included two doubles and two RBI. Drolsbaugh also stole a base. Howell added three hits in the second game and stole two bases.
