McKendree Softball Falls to Drury in GLVC Doubleheader

(LEBANON, Ill., Apr. 16)--The McKendree University softball team dropped both ends of a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader Saturday at home against Drury University. The Panthers won the opener 6-1 before edging the Bearcats in the nightcap, 1-0. 

The Bearcats are now 21-23 overall and 13-11 in the GLVC play. McKendree will close out the home portion of its 2016 schedule on Sunday by playing host to Missouri S&T in conference action. First pitch is set for noon. The Bearcats will also honor Marla Schulte (O'Fallon, Ill./O'Fallon Township) and Taylor Barnouski (O'Fallon, Ill./O'Fallon Township) during Senior Day activities at Bearcat Field. 

In game one, McKendree grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Schulte singled with one out and moved to second base on a groundout. After a walk to junior outfielder Dani Schoenbacher (Tamaroa, Ill./Pinckeyville) and a single by  freshman utility Sara Radae (Edwardsville, Ill./Edwardsville High School) loaded the bases, Schulte was able to race home on a wild pitch to put the Bearcats in front. 

Drury (15-29, 8-16 GLVC) tied the contest with a run in the third inning, then surged in front good with a two-run outburst in the fifth. The Panthers sealed the win by plating three runs in the seventh inning. Junior right-hander Holly Magre (Festus, Mo./St. Pius X) was charged with the game one loss for McKendree, giving up four earned runs on nine hits with two walks and 10 strikeouts. Magre's record is now 12-9 on the season. 

Game two featured a pitching duel between McKendree freshman Maci Ingram (Woodlawn, Ill./Nashville Community High School) and Drury's Jessica Kjeldgaard. The Bearcats and Panthers were held hitless until the fifth inning, when Drury's Chantal Oelrich belted a solo home run to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. Schulte broke up Kjeldgaard's no-hit bid with a one-out single in the bottom of the fifth. But the Bearcats could only manage one more hit the rest of the contest, a sixth-inning single by junior infielder Hanna Branch (Kirkwood, Mo./Kirkwood). 

Ingram took the hard-luck loss for McKendree, tossing a complete-game two-hitter with four strikeouts. Ingram is now 6-8 overall.
