Cardinals 7th-Inning Rally Falls Run Short, Bobcats Hold On

WHEELING, Va. – The Cardinals came away empty from their closest game against the Mountain East Conference top softball squad. After the final at bat spelled doom in a 5-1 opening defeat, Wheeling Jesuit plated four final runs in the late contest, but it fell one-score short against West Virginia Wesleyan, 8-7.
 
After a Mallory Chapman third-inning double, Courtney Rogers lined a single to center field to tie the contest, 1-1. The game remained deadlocked until the top of the seventh where the Bobcats (27-10/18-4 MEC South) produced five-straight, one-out hits to score four times for the opening win.
 
In the home seventh of the late game down 8-3, Chapman started the WJU final at bat with a solo home run to left field, before Taylor DiPerna lined the fourth hit in a row to score Victoria Scott. Alaina York and Cassie Holstein followed with two more RBI singles to make it 8-7. The Bobcats, though, retired the next Cardinals (18-19/14-8 MEC North) batter to end the rally.
 
Chapman paced the WJU hitters with a 4 for 6 day, including the solo homer, a double, two runs and an RBI. Both York and Scott went 3 for 4 in the late contest with a run each. Jackie Cramer rounded out the three-hit performers with a 3 for 7 day.
 
Rogers chipped in a pair of run-scoring hits, while Brianna Grimes drove in two with two hits in the second affair. DiPerna and Heather Pinney added two hits apiece.
 
With a game two 5-0 deficit, Grimes loft a single to right center to score both DiPerna and York, who both singled, for the Cardinals first two runs. A Rogers hit down the left field lined pulled the home team within 5-3. West Virginia Wesleyan answered in the top of the sixth with three runs of its own for an 8-3 lead. 
 
WJU has a couple days off before its schedule to host Slippery Rock in a Tuesday, April 17, twinbill starting at 3 p.m.
