ATHENS, Ohio – The Ohio softball team (23-17, 13-5 MAC) returned to action Wednesday afternoon (April 12), splitting a doubleheader with Kent State (10-25, 5-8 MAC). The Bobcats won game one, 16-2, before falling 9-3 in game two. The Bobcats won the overall series, 2-1. 


Game One: Ohio 16, Kent State 2 (Five Innings)

Individually, sophomore Emma Hoffner (New Stanton, Pa.) led the way going 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBIs. Freshman Belle Hummel (Cincinnati, Ohio), junior Yasmine Logan (Pittsburgh, Pa.), and senior Alexis Dawe (Valley Springs, Calif.) also contributed to scoring with two RBIs each; Logan also hit the only triple of the game.  

In the circle, graduate student Kylie Coffelt (Beloit, Ohio) got the start, pitching 4.2 innings, allowing no runs on two hits, while not walking a batter and striking out four. 

The Bobcats launched ahead in the bottom of the first inning with a 13-0 lead. Doubles from Dawe and Hummel scored the first three runs of the game. In three consecutive at-bats, Ohio scored with a bases-loaded walk from sophomore CiCi Keidel (Hilliard, Ohio), a fielder's choice by junior Tori O'Brien (Mason, Ohio) and a two-RBI single up the middle from Hummel, giving them a healthy seven-run lead.

Hummel and O'Brien scored when Logan tripled into left field. Logan scored herself from when Dawe singled to second base. The Bobcats weren't done yet, they scored three runs off Hoffner's double, a ground out and a single giving a 13 run lead heading into the top of the second inning.  

The Bobcats tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the third inning. Scoring off a double from Austy Miller (Bradford, Ohio) on Kent State field error and an RBI single from sophomore Lauren Yuhas (West Mifflin, Pa), they extended their lead 16-0.
