Softball Drops One To New Mexico State, 14-6

After giving up a run in the top of the first to the Aggies, the Bulls took a brief lead, as NMSU errors aided the Buffalo scoring drive. The Aggies came back to score three runs in the top of the second inning but Buffalo answered by scoring a duo of runs in the bottom of the third to even the score.

Marcy Hansen

Marcy Hansen (Claremont, CA/Claremont) got the ball rolling for Buffalo, as the junior slapped a single to left field. Senior Sophie Barstad (Canby, OR/Canby) followed with a single of her own and Barr eventually jacked a RBI-single to center field to score Hansen. Dana Carter (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville South) picked up the other UB RBI in the inning, driving home pinch-runner Jaime Sheffler (Chittenango, NY/Chittenango Central) with an infield grounder.

Sophie Barstad

The tie game was broken up in the top of the fifth, as NMSU scored 10 runs on six hits. In the bottom-half on the inning, Hansen was hit by a pitch, Barstad doubled and Barr followed with a two-RBI double of her own as the Bulls scored two more. The next two Buffalo hitters failed to reach the basepaths, however, and the Bulls took the eight-run loss.

Margo Schramm (Phoenix, AZ/Catalina Foothills/Iowa Lakes CC) took the loss on the mound for the Bulls, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits in 4.1 innings of work.

UB will conclude its season-opening tournament on Sunday, as the Bulls are scheduled to take on the University of Texas-El Paso at 11 am and MAC foe Central Michigan at 1:30 pm.
