Davenport Takes One of Two on Day Two in Tennessee

HARROGATE, Tenn. - Just like the season opener on Saturday, it took the Davenport University softball team eight innings to defeat Ohio Dominican (0-3) as the Panthers improved to 2-1 with the 5-3 win over the other Panthers. However, Davenport dropped back down to .500 with a 3-2 loss to No. 20 Lincoln Memorial (6-0) in the nightcap. Next up, the Panthers will travel to Evansville, Ind. on March 6-7 for the Midwest Region Crossover hosted by Southern Indiana.

In the first game, Ohio Dominican struck first with a pair of runs in the first inning before Lindsay Goodman continued her hot start to 2021 in the second. Goodman got Davenport on the board with an RBI double to left field that scored Rachel Griffin before she came in herself thanks to Mariah Cura's sacrifice fly to center. So far this season, Goodman is hitting .538 with seven hits in her 13 at-bats. ODU took the lead back with an RBI bunt single in the third, but DU wasn't done. In the sixth, Griffin singled in Ellie Muilenburg, and in the eighth, Rylie Kalina singled in Griffin for some insurance.

Taylor Simon (no decision) started for the first time this season with three innings pitched and two earned runs given up on three hits to go with no walks and two strikeouts. In relief, Emma Miller (1-1) was brilliant with five shutout frames, no runs surrendered on just one hit along with three punchouts and no free passes.

In game two, Lincoln Memorial tallied all three of its runs in the bottom of the third inning. Fast forward to the top of the sixth and Davenport made it a game when Monica Meger stole home for the first run and Goodman pushed Griffin across with a base knock down the left field line for the second. However, Goodman was stranded and pinch-runner, Jorden Urban, was caught stealing for the third out in the top of the seventh.

Muilenburg (1-1) performed well again with six innings pitched, three runs given up, only two earned, on seven hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. So far this season, the junior's ERA is just 1.50 through 14 frames of work.
