The LeTourneau bats would go cold in the remaining four innings as they couldn’t respond to the Crusaders four runs and dropped the series opener.

Jordan Carns <http://www.letuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3418> falls to 1-7 on the season after five innings on the mound for the YellowJackets. Carns gave up three earned runs on six hits while striking out two.

After the Lobos scored two runs in the bottom of the third inning to take a 3-2 lead, Freshman Hayley Hurley <http://www.letuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3222> started a huge fourth inning for the YellowJackets. Hurley knocked a RBI single to left center to score junior Bailey Woodard <http://www.letuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3211> who had reached on a walk.

Kaitlyn Allen <http://www.letuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3202> loaded the bases with a single through the right side which set up Judd who reached on a fielder’s choice and scored freshman Taylor MacKenzie <http://www.letuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3223>. Matulis followed with a single to bring home her fellow senior, Allen.

Roach got her triple in the fourth inning and racked up two of her six RBIs as Judd and Matulis crossed the plate. Roach would score on a passed ball during the following Mize plate appearance.
