Final Stats

HENDERSON, Nev. – The Indiana softball team dropped two games in the Wilson/DeMarini Desert Classic on Saturday, falling to Cal State Northridge and New Mexico. 

In the first game of the day, Cal State Northridge jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning, including a two-RBI home run by Taylor Nate. The Matadors hit four home runs during the course of the game, including a second one by Taylor Glover one inning later as Cal State Northridge held a 6-0 lead heading into the bottom of the second inning. 

Indiana (2-7) sophomore CaraMia Tsirigos answered with a home run of her own as a solo shot to right field put the Hoosiers on the board. The Hoosiers added four more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to shrink the Matadors’ lead to 6-5. Junior Kassi Farmer got the scoring started for Indiana with a solo shot to right-center field. Senior Shannon Cawley then brought in a run on a groundout, followed by a RBI single from junior Michelle Huber. Freshman Taylor Uden scored on an error by the Matadors as they tried to rein in Huber’s single. 

However, three errors in the sixth inning would cost the Hoosiers as they led to three Cal State Northridge runs. One inning later, the Matadors hit back-to-back solo home runs while also collecting a run on an RBI double to secure the 12-5 victory. 

The Saturday evening contest saw the Hoosiers jump out to a 7-0 lead against New Mexico after pushing six across the plate in the third inning. Cawley went yard on a two-run home run to right field, followed by runs scored on a bases-loaded walk, passed ball, fielder’s choice and a wild pitch. 

The Lobos would respond in a big way as they registered four straight hits in the bottom of the fourth inning to make it 7-3. A three-RBI double by Jasmine Casados tied up the game before New Mexico’s seventh hit of the inning gave the Lobos their first lead on an RBI double by Mariah Rimmer. 

Trailing by one run heading into the seventh, the Hoosiers started off the inning by Tsirigos reaching on a New Mexico error. After sophomore Erin Lehman came in as a pinch runner for Tsirigos, senior Brianna Meyer moved her into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. A flyout by junior Kelsey Dotson put Lehman at third base, setting up an RBI single by sophomore Kayla Mathewson to tie the game at 8-8. 

A lead-off single and one-out double by the Lobos put runners on second and third base in the bottom half of the inning. After an intentional walk to Brandi Heimburg loaded the bases, Shelbie Franc singled to score the game-winning run. The Hoosiers close out play in the Wilson/DeMarini Desert Classic on Sunday as they face Utah State tomorrow at noon ET.

Lebanon senior pitcher Tara Trainer (#Indiana signee) named to the USA Today Preseason Softball Team. http://usatodayhss.com/2015/american-family-insurance-all-usa-preseason-softball-team  
 
Trainer had a dominating freshman year and then missed most of her sophomore season after a near-fatal car crash.  She bounced back in 2014 in a big way, going 19-1 with a 0.45 ERA and 256 K’s for a team that went to the state semifinals before losing to the eventual state champion. The Indiana signee has great speed, movement and control of her pitches.
