Leafs lose by a combined three runs in final two games of Florida trip

McDonald had her first four-hit game in game two loss

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Goshen lost two games by a combined three runs against Shawnee State on Saturday, the final two of their ten games in Florida. The Bears, who are receiving votes in the coaches poll, won 2-0 and 10-9.

Game One
Goshen had just two hits in the game. Shea VanScoter had a single in the first after Bianca Diamond walked, but the two were left on base by the inning's end. Diamond had a single in the third and moved to second on an error, but was left stranded after a flyout.

Shawnee State got on the board in the bottom of the third from a pair of RBI doubles. After quick fourth and fifth innings, Goshen loaded the bases after Diamond reached on an error, VanScoter was hit by a pitch and Grace Schmitt walked. A strikeout with the bases loaded left the score 2-0, and the Maple Leafs went down three in a row in the seventh.

While she had the loss, starter Camryn Barrows pitched her longest outing of the season, going six innings and allowing two earned runs on five hits. She struck out two batters and walked one.

Game Two
In game two, the Bears left the bases loaded in the top of the first. With Kaylee Kates and Alyssa McDonald on base in the bottom of the first, Shea VanScoter hit a two-RBI triple which was followed by an RBI groundout from Ella Mcleod to make it 3-0 in favor of the Maple Leafs. Goshen added another three in the third from an RBI double by VanScoter and a two-RBI single from Kamille Badibanga.

GC starter Esme Pico held Shawnee State scoreless through the first three innings, but the Bears clawed back despite being down six. They scored four runs in each of the next two innings, only answered by an RBI double from Alyssa McDonald in the fourth. In the sixth they tacked on two more runs to go up 10-7. Bianca Diamond hit a two-RBI single in the bottom of the sixth but the Leafs left two runners on base and left another on base in the seventh, losing by one.
