Cardinals Late Comeback Falls Short, Yellow Jackets Take Pair

INSTITUTE, W.Va. – Molly Welsh helped the Wheeling Jesuit softball team plate two seventh-inning runs, but its comeback fell short as West Virginia hung on to take both ends of the doubleheader, 2-0 and 5-3.
 
The Yellow Jackets (17-13, 3-5 Mountain East Conference South) scored two runs with two out in the home third inning of game one for a 2-0 lead. The Cardinals' (9-11/3-5 MEC North) Kelsi Thompson and Victoria Scott singled in the top of the fourth and Scott lead off the seventh with another single, but the visitors failed to put a run on the scoreboard.
 
WJU touched home with the late-game's first run in its first at bat as Ashley Ledbetter singled home Molly Welsh. West Virginia State scored twice in the third, once in the fourth and two more times in the sixth for a 5-1 advantage. Cassie Holstein walked to lead off the seventh and raced home on a Welsh double down the right field line. Welsh pulled WJU with two, 5-3, on a Scott RBI sacrifice, but it was unable to get any closer.
 
Welsh paced the Cardinals attack with a double, two singles, two runs and a RBI. Scott continued her solid play with four singles and an RBI.
 
Thompson, Jackie Cramer and Dana Achille added two hits apiece. Ledbetter had the final Cardinals hit.
 
Mallory Chapman scattered eight first-game hits and allowed only one earned run over six innings with seven strikeouts and one walk.
 
WJU returns home Tuesday afternoon, March 28, when it hosts Ohio Dominican at 3 p.m.
