Softball Concludes 2024 Season

CALEDONIA, Mich. - The Davenport University softball team concluded its 2024 season with a pair of losses to Purdue Northwest on Saturday Afternoon at the Farmers Insurance Athletic Complex. The contest served as the team's senior day, as Alexis Gills, Kelsey Byers, Hayley Kreiger and Kaycee Loehr were all honored by the program postgame.

Game 1
Result: L, 7-4
How it Happened
The Panthers (15-31, 7-17 GLIAC) opened up game one of the doubleheader with a 2-0 lead after scoring a run in the first and second innings.

Kreiger put the opening run of the day on the board as she bombed a solo home run over the center field fence. In the bottom of the second with the bases loaded, Becca Daoust singled to center field, which brought home Sophia Propps.

However, the Pride (30-20, 15-9 GLIAC) answered in a big way in the third, scoring six of their seven runs in the inning to take a 6-2 lead.

Riley Hasseld helped trim the four-run deficit in the sixth with a two-RBI double to left-center field, bringing home Daoust and Alex Rendon. 

Savanna Disbrow finished the game batting 3-for-4 for the Panthers. Kreiger and Brooke Bernt each added a pair of hits in the loss for DU.

Game 2
Result: L, 4-0
How it Happened
The final game of the 2024 season for DU was another defensive battle. Byers pitched all seven innings in the last game of her career, throwing four strikeouts in the loss. 

In her final game of her career, Kaycee Loehr notched a double to center field, her second of the year and sixth all-time.

Gills finished her storied softball career with a single to left field in the bottom of the seventh. Also chiming in with a hit for the Panthers was Propps with a single in the second.
