Baker holds off Softball in game two, takes doubleheader 6-2 & 12-10

Raven Softball rallied for 10 runs off 12 hits in the series finale with Baker University on Thursday on Ravens Field, but couldn't push through against the Wildcats.

Baker earned the doubleheader sweep over Benedictine with a 6-2 game-one win and then a 12-10 win in game two.

Baker used a three-run sixth inning in the opener to break a 2-2 tie. Alex Gilham earned the start inside the circle and threw the first five and one-third innings. She finished with three strikeouts while giving up four earned runs off seven hits in the loss.

Molly Chevalier hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the second to give the Ravens an early 2-1 lead, but that proved to be their only runs of the game. Megan Medhus added a double while Blair Shanks finished with two hits.

In game two, Shanks added two more hits to become the Ravens all-time hits leader with 220.

Abby Pressgrove earned the start inside the circle. She threw two and one-third innings before MacKenzie Pinkerton and Gilham finished the game in relief. Pinkerton was credited with the loss, giving up five earned runs off five hits over one and two-thirds innings.

Madison Zaccardo led the charge at the plate for the Ravens. She went 3 for 5 with a double, home run, and four RBI. Medhus added her second double of the series while Shanks and Clare Heitz both finished with two hits each.

Benedictine wraps up the regular season Friday at 4 p.m. with a doubleheader against MNU.
