Softball Miscues Ruin Solid Day at No. 24 CSB

ST. JOSEPH, Minn. – The UW-Stevens Point softball team (11-6) hung with No. 24 College of Saint Benedict (8-2), but untimely miscues allowed the homestanding Bennies to sweep the Pointers.  UWSP fell in game one, 4-3, before a 7-3 defeat in game two.
 
Sammy Buerger (Oshkosh, Wis./North) scored two runs on the day.  She was 3-for-3  in stolen base attempts and drove in a run.  Sara Traxel (Oak Creek, Wis./Oak Creek) had two RBI and scored a run on the day.  Maddie Candre (St. Charles, Ill./East) collected three hits over the doubleheader.
 
Game 1 – UWSP 3, CSB 4
Buerger drew a two-out walk in the top of the first inning.  She stole second and scored on a single by Megan Lawrence (Antioch, Ill./Antioch Community) for a 1-0 early lead.
 
Candre singled to begin the third inning.  After a fielder's choice, Buerger drew another base on balls.  After a double steal, both runners scored on a CSB error.
 
In the bottom of the third, the Bennies scored two runs on three UWSP miscues.  CSB tied the game in the fifth on three hits.
 
The Bennies turned a leadoff walk into the winning run in the sixth after a steal and a base hit.
 
Makenna Tkach (Streator, Ill./Marquette Academy) went 4.2 innings in the start.  She struck out five.
 
Game 2 – UWSP 3, CSB 7
CSB took a 1-0 lead in the first with a single, a steal and a double.  The Bennies doubled the lead in the second on a double and a UWSP error.
 
Sara Traxel (Oak Creek, Wis./Oak Creek) began UWSP's second inning with a single.  Madi Greenaberg (Downers Grove, Ill./North) walked and Jessie Davidenko (Plainfield, Ill./North) reached on an error to load the bases.  Another CSB error plated two runs as UWSP tied the game, 2-2.
 
CSB manufactured a run on a pair of walks, a stolen base and an RBI fielder's choice in the third.
 
The Pointers rallied to tie the game in the fifth.  Rachael Wakefield (River Falls, Wis./River Falls) started the inning with a single.  Two batters later, Lauren Luedtke (Lomira, Wis./Lomira) hit a single to put runners on the corners.  Buerger dropped an RBI sac bunt to tie the game at 3-3.
 
The Bennies turned two UWSP errors in the top of the seventh into a four-run inning to complete the sweep.
