FORT WAYNE, Ind., and GOSHEN, Ind. — Katherine Boyer's seventh-inning grand slam on Friday afternoon set a new Goshen College record for the number of runs scored in a softball season, but the Maple Leafs came up empty over the weekend in four games against the University of Saint Francis and Indiana Wesleyan University.

Saint Francis took 7-6 and 5-4 wins on their campus Friday at Westendorf Field, while Indiana Wesleyan prevailed 3-0 and 12-4 Saturday at the John Ingold Athletic Complex.

Goshen did its damage in a pair of three-run innings in the opener against the Cougars (19-18, 10-12), scoring thrice in both the third and seventh innings.

Boyer, Madison Matthews and Jessica Bachtell each singled to start the first rally, with Bachtell driving in the first run before an infield hit from Emily Cummings reloaded the bases. A Leah Herrman hit finished the scoring and put the Maple Leafs (14-25, 8-15) up 3-1.

USF had scored once in the first inning and twice each in the third, fourth and sixth, taking a 7-3 lead into Goshen's last turn at the plate. Herrman, Sandra Rodriguez and Taylor Sutliff all singled to bring Boyer to the plate as the tying run; she uncorked a double down the left-field line to bring Goshen within 7-6. The Cougars went to their bullpen, though, with the tying run on second base, and got a popup to end the game.

Bachtell and Boyer finished with three hits apiece for Goshen: each team also had a double, from Boyer and Lizzie Meyer respectively.

Goshen did all of its scoring in the second game in the sixth inning, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead. Bachtell led off by reaching on an error before Cummings singled and Herrman walked to load the bases.

In addition to unloading the bases, Boyer's grand slam resulted in her crossing the plate with the team's 224th run of the season, surpassing last year's record of 223.

The Cougars tied the game with three unearned runs in the bottom of the inning, getting back-to-back doubles from Cassidy Ferrer and Jade Mollenkopf to do the bulk of the damage, and recorded the winning run on three singles in the bottom of the seventh.

Saturday, Indiana Wesleyan took a 2-0 lead after a leadoff single and a hit batter in the top of the first inning, but Goshen starter Cummings held the 13th-ranked Wildcats (34-10, 19-5) scoreless until the seventh inning.

The Maple Leafs added two hits of their own in the bottom of the first before Mckenzey Ridge held the team to three baserunners over the final six innings. Madison Matthews was the lone Maple Leaf to record multiple hits.

The Wildcats struck first in the second game Saturday with a 5-run second inning, adding single tallies in each of the next three frames before getting a 4-run sixth to end the game via mercy rule. Goshen scored on a Ri Koteles double in the third inning and added three runs on two run-scoring groundouts, a Boyer single and a Koteles double in the sixth.

Sydney Lowe hit a grand slam and a solo shot for Indiana Wesleyan, which also got a home run from Rebecca Schrad and a 3-hit game from Trinity Medina. Lowe led all players with five runs batted in.

Goshen concludes a six-game homestand with four home games this week in a pair of doubleheaders: Tuesday at 3 p.m. against Mount Vernon Nazarene and Friday at 3 p.m. against Saint Francis.
