WINONA LAKE, Ind. — Rayna Moraga hit her first collegiate home run Saturday, but the Goshen College softball team was topped twice by Grace College, losing both ends of a Crossroads League softball doubleheader 2-1 and 5-2 at Miller Field on the Grace campus.

The Lancers (16-32, 10-24) got an unearned first-inning run in the opener, with a two-out fielding error coming in to score after a walk and a single, and never trailed again in either game.

Goshen (16-35-1, 8-24-1) put four runners in scoring position over the next three innings, getting a leadoff double from Leah Herrman in the second and loading the bases after another Herrman two-bagger in the fourth, but was unable to cash in despite a pair of outfield fly balls with runners on third.

Abby Mozingo drove in Grace's second run in the fifth, using a single to center to knock in Sam Heim at the end of another two-out rally and finishing off the Lancer offense for the opener. Goshen doubled up Grace's hit total, 6-3, but also left eight runners on base.

The visitors broke through in the top of the sixth, getting a Taylor Sutliff sacrifice fly to score a run after two straight walks started the inning, and left Brooke Maes on second base as the tying run with a two-out foulout.

Herrman and Candace Sutter each posted two hits for Goshen, with Herrman doubling twice and drawing a walk while Sutter added two singles and a steal. No Grace batter reached base more than once by any means.

Both starters went the distance: Grace's Hannah Middlebrooks needed 116 pitches to retire Goshen with six hits and three walks, while Goshen's Alexis Carpenter threw 100 pitches in allowing three hits and two walks against three strikeouts.

Grace out-hit Goshen 12-7 in the nightcap, starting the first inning with two bunt hits, three steals and a seeing-eye single to take a 2-0 lead before the first out.

Both teams scored in the fourth, with Goshen halving the deficit on a fielding error before Paige Hlutke doubled in a run to put Grace back up 3-1.

The Lancers doubled their lead again in the sixth, using four infield singles including two squeeze plays to go up 5-1 before Moraga's solo shot with two balls, two strikes and two outs got Goshen back on the board in the seventh.

Sandra Rodriguez went 2 for 3 at the plate with a double to pace the Maple Leafs: Sam Heim had three hits and Britney Young and Ashley Kleinbub two each for Grace.

Neither pitcher issued a walk: Grace's Chandler Elliott struck out two and gave up seven hits, while Carpenter took the circle again and went the distance for Goshen. With the pair of complete games, Carpenter became the sixth pitcher in Goshen history to throw 300 career innings: the senior sits at 303 for her career and 159 2/3 this season, three frames behind Rae Ann Miller's two-year-old single-season mark.

The conference season draws to a close on Monday with both Grace and Goshen playing twice: the Lancers lead the Maple Leafs by a game and hold the tiebreaker, meaning the Maple Leafs must go 2-0 and Grace 0-2 for Goshen to pull back into the eighth spot in the conference and make the tournament.

Grace visits Marian, the NAIA's second-ranked team, for a doubleheader at 1 p.m. in Indianapolis, while Goshen travels to Fort Wayne to play Saint Francis in a twinbill at 3 p.m.
