Missouri Baptist Edges Marywood, 2-1

Cocoa Beach, Fla. - NAIA member Missouri Baptist University scored twice in the fifth inning and held off Marywood softball for a 2-1 win in non-conference softball action Thursday afternoon in Florida. Marywood fell to 3-3 with the loss while the Spartans moved to 11-6 on the year.

Marywood got a complete game effort on the mound from Katie Siano (1-1).  Siano allowed seven hits and struck out one over the full six innings to suffer her first loss of the year.

The Pacers collected just three hits in the game, one apiece from Kelsey Killeen, Annie Heyen and Hailey Rispardi.  Heyen accounted for Marywood's RBI in the fourth.  With the scored tied a zero, Alexa Scala walked and moved to second on an error. She would move to third on a sacrifice bunt from Mackie Goodwin, and score a play later when Heyen singled.  

The Spartans, down 1-0, would capitalize in the top of the bottom of the fifth after a runner reached on a error, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on a single.  A sacrifice RBI later in the inning would bring home what would become the winning run for Missouri Baptist.

Marywood will close their spring break trip Friday with two more games against the Spartans. Game one gets underway at approximately 9:00 am.
