CLERMONT, Fla. – The Davenport softball team produced two different results against Northwood (Fla.) in its return to the NTC Softball Complex Friday afternoon.
 
The 23^rd-ranked Panthers used a dozen hits in five innings to knock the Seahawks out of game one 11-2. Davenport, though, had to grind out runs to tie game two 5-5 by the sixth. After a game of cat-and-mouse in extras, Northwood delivered the game-winning hit in the 12^th to take an 11-10 win over the Panthers in a 3:17 ball game.
 
Game 1 – Davenport 11, Northwood 2 (5 innings)
After going scoreless in the first inning, the Panthers (9-1) went to work and drove six runs across in the second. Ashleigh Blovsky reached on a fielding error and reached third on Karli Myers groundout followed by Haley Obetts single to center. Sarah Schneidenbach drove in Blovsky with a single and Davenport took a 2-0 lead on Alyssa Koziol's double to left. Carli SanMillan hit into a ground out which was enough to bring in Schneidenbach home from third. KC Dunne scored in the sixth run with a single to right.
 
The Panthers added on to the lead in the third when Lauren Hayes smashed a pitch to right for a three-run homer. McKenzie Rowe knocked in the 10^th run with a two-out single to short and a while she was in a rundown, Casey Swink snuck her way home for the 11^th run.
 
The Seahawks (4-3-1) got on the board in the fourth inning on a bases-loaded walk and a RBI single to right.
 
Emily Maves (4-1) threw three shutout innings allowing no hits and a walk. She did strike out three.
 
Game 2 – Northwood 11, Davenport 10 (12 innings)
Trailing 5-1 in the top of the sixth inning, Davenport got two big doubles from Paige Sant'Angelo and Alyssa Eastman to set up a five-run inning and tie the game.
 
Both teams would drive in a run in extra innings using the international rule of placing a runner at second to start an inning. In the 11^th, Sant'Angelo sent a pitch to left field for a two-run shot, but the Seahawks countered and drove in two runs to keep the game going.
 
After the Panthers failed to score in the 12^th, Northwood with a leadoff single put the runner at third and a walkoff single up the middle handed the Panthers their first loss of the season.
 
Maves suffered the defeat despite having to come in for a struggling Eastman on the circle. Eastman went four innings allowing five runs on five hits and two walks. Maves tossed 7.1 innings conceding two earned runs on a walk and nine hits.
 
The Panthers wrap up their Florida tour Saturday at the NTC Softball Complex. They take on Grace (Ind.) at 9 a.m. and will follow with Judson at 11 a.m.
