Lourdes Splits Monday Games at Space Coast

Lourdes began the first of five days at the Space Coast Games on Monday, defeating Trinity Christian 6-1 in the opener before falling 3-0 to Ave Maria at USSSA Space Coast in Melbourne, Fla.
 
"We played quality softball all day," head coach Caitlin Blanchard said afterwards.  "Palma set the ton with a lead-off home run in game one and we had production up and down the lineup.  The pitchers did a nice job complimenting one another all day.  Berlynn pitched a great game two against a tough team."
 
Annalisse Palma (Battle Creek, Mich./Lakeview H.S.) roped the second pitch of the day over the leftfield fence to give the Gray Wolves a 1-0 lead against Trinity Christian.  Lourdes added to its lead in the third with back-to-back two-out RBI singles by Olivia Hickman (Trenton, Mich./Trenton H.S.) and Taylor Leggins (Parma, Ohio/Normandy H.S.).
 
The Gray Wolves did more damage with two outs in the sixth.  Rachel Mease (North Ridgeville, Ohio/North Ridgeville H.S.) drove home two with a double to right-center and Megan Richardson (Napoleon, Ohio/Napoleon H.S.) followed with a triple to left, making it a 6-0 game.
 
Kirsten Smith (Marysville, Mich./Marysville H.S.) tossed five shutout innings before Trinity Christian (5-7) scored a run in the top of the sixth.  She departed with the bases loaded and one out, with Jaylen Jackson (Newark, Ohio/Newark H.S.) coming on for her first collegiate appearance in the circle.  She induced a pair of ground outs, retiring the side without any more damage on her way to earning her first collegiate save.  Smith picked up the win (3-1), scattering eight hits and just walking two while striking out two.
 
Lourdes managed just four hits in game two against Ave Maria.  The Gyrenes took the lead with a single run in the third before adding tallies in both the sixth and the seventh.
 
Berlynn Keller (Ottawa Lake, Mich./Whiteford H.S.) went the distance in the circle.  She yielded eight hits and three walks in the loss (2-3).
 
Lourdes (6-6) returns to USSSA Space Coast on Tuesday.  The Gray Wolves face 14th-ranked Indiana Wesleyan at 12:15 p.m. before battling Fort Lauderdale at 4:45 p.m.
