(Williamsburg, KY)—The Cougars competed in day 2 of the Bear Creek Tournament today, playing two games—one against Taylor and another against Cumberlands.
Game 1 vs. Taylor:
Taylor fired up the offense in the first inning with a sac fly bringing in one run for the Trojans. Cleary tied the game up by adding one run in the bottom of the second inning. The run was scored when Haley Whittecar singled, bringing in Maddie Bunkoske.
The Trojans pulled away for good with two runs in the fourth inning, and added an insurance run in the top of the seventh to take a 4-1 lead.
Caitlynn Duffey took the loss for Cleary, surrendering four runs on five hits over seven innings, striking out four. Mckenzie Latshaw and Whittecar each collected one hit to lead Cleary offensively.
Game 2 vs. Cumberlands:
The Cougars watched the game slip away early and couldn't recover in a 7-0 loss to Cumberlands on Saturday. The Patriots scored right off the bat with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Cleary struggled to put runs on the board and had a tough time defensively containing Cumberlands, giving up seven runs. A bright spot for Cleary was a double by Kate Currie in the fourth inning.
Halle Dargie took the loss for Cleary, allowing nine hits and seven runs over three and two-thirds innings, striking out three. Currie and Maddie Bunkoske each collected one hit to lead the Cougar offense.
The Cougars will wrap up their weekend of competition tomorrow with back-to-back games. They play Rio Grande at 9:00am and Indiana South Bend at 11:30am.
