Pointers Fall Short at UWL Despite Wakefield’s Multi-Hit Games

LA CROSSE, Wis. – The UW-Stevens Point softball team (15-18-1, 1-8-1) got a pair of hits from Rachael Wakefield (River Falls, Wis./River Falls) in each game, but homestanding UW-La Crosse () swept a doubleheader from the Pointers.  UWSP fell by an 8-0 score in six innings in game one.  The Pointers led early, but dropped game two by a 7-4 final.
 
Wakefield registered two hits in both games, her third-straight multi-hit game. 
 
Lauren Luedtke (Lomira, Wis./Lomira) had four hits on the day as well.  She had three hits, an RBI and scored twice in game two.
 
Game 1 – UWSP 0, UWL 8 (6)
The Pointers had a hit in each of the first four innings, but the runner was stranded in each frame.
 
The Eagles used four hits in the bottom of the fourth to take a 2-0 lead.  A solo home run in the fifth gave UWL a 3-0 advantage.
 
In the sixth, Wakefield led off with a single.  Consecutive UWL errors loaded the bases, but UWSP was unable to push home a run.
 
The Eagles batted around in the bottom of the sixth and walked off with the 8-0 victory.
 
Game 2 – UWSP 4, UWL 7
Maddie Candre (St. Charles, Ill./East) led off the game with a single.  Luedtke followed with a double to put two in scoring position.  Two batters later, Sammy Buerger (Oshkosh, Wis./North) singled to plate the first run.  An RBI fielder's choice by Morgan Johnson (Combined Locks, Wis./Kaukauna) gave the Pointers a 2-0 lead.
 
The Eagles scored single runs in the first, second and fourth to overtake the lead, 3-2.
 
Luedtke was hit by a pitch to begin the fifth.  A UWL error put two on and a sac bunt by Ashley Cohen (Wheaton, Ill./Glenbard South) moved both runners into scoring position.  An RBI groundout by Johnson tied the game at 3-3.
 
UWL scored twice in the bottom of the fifth on two hits to regain the lead at 5-3.
 
In the sixth, Sophie Lee (River Falls, Wis./River Falls) hit a one-out single.  Wakefield followed with an infield hit and two batters later, Luedtke drove in a run with a base hit.
