Cecilia Bauer goes 3-for-3 with an RBI and run scored for Huskies


HAMMOND, La. - Southern Miss had a four-run first inning and went on from there to defeat HBU softball, 12-3 in five innings, Saturday morning, the first of two games for the Huskies today on day two of the Lion Classic II.
 
Cecilia Bauer led HBU (1-7) by going a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate, with an RBI and a run scored. Shay Orsak went 2-for-3, while both Melissa Herman and Caitlin Gunn had a hit. Shannon O'Connor started in the circle and took the loss, as she only lasted two-thirds of an inning. Laci Belovsky tossed the final 3.2 and gave up nine hits, seven earned runs and three walks, while striking out one.
 
Southern Miss' (4-3) 3-4-5 batters wreaked havoc for HBU, as they combined to go 9-for-11 at the plate with six RBIs and eight runs scored. Katie Clearly, the clean-up hitter for the Golden Eagles, led the way with five RBIs.Samantha Robles started and earned the win in the circle, allowing six hits and three runs while striking out four. Jillian Johnson tossed the final inning and gave up a hit and a walk.
 
The Golden Eagles wasted little time getting a lead, as Clearly had a two-run triple, followed by a two-run single for Michelle Stringer in the bottom of the first. The Golden Eagles added two more runs in the bottom of the second to lead 6-0.
 
HBU cut the deficit in half with a three-run top of the third. Gunn led off the inning with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Erin Alaniz. Alaniz advanced to second on a bunt-single by Orsak. Bauer's RBI double allowed Alaniz to score and put Orsak at third, but she didn't have to stay there long, as Alyssa Burnett's sac fly allowed her to cross home and Bauer to go to third. Herman's RBI double to left-center allowed Bauer to cross home and make the score 6-3. The Golden Eagles got out of the inning with a strikeout and a groundout.
 
The Golden Eagles increased their lead with a two-run fourth, then later scored four in the bottom of the fifth. Robles' three-run blast put the run-rule into effect.
