Softball Falls to Hampton, Gardner-Webb

Boiling Springs, N.C. – Peyton Fisher had two hits on the day, scoring a run and driving in another, but the Hartford softball team was bested in a pair of contests at the Runnin' Bulldog Softball Tournament, hosted by Gardner-Webb, on Saturday. Hampton topped the Hawks 6-1, while the host Bulldogs emerged victorious, 7-2, in the afternoon session.
 
GAME ONE: HAMPTON 6, HARTFORD 1
Hampton struck quickly in the top of the first. Four singles and a walk to the first six batters plated a pair of runs for the Pirates. But starting pitcher Lexi Wilkerson came back strong, getting a popout and a strikeout to end the frame with no further damage.
 
The Hawks got one back in the bottom of the second. Fisher drew a leadoff walk, then moved to second on a sac bunt. A Wilkerson single put runners at the corners, and then an error allowed Fisher to score to make it 2-1.
 
Wilkerson settled in for the Hawks in the circle, putting zeroes on the board in the second, third, fourth and fifth while also putting together a career-high eight strikeouts.
 
But in the sixth, the Pirates added to their lead with a two-run home run off the bat of Ashley Grassini to make it a 4-1 score. Then in the seventh, it was a bases-loaded walk and a sac fly that closed out the scoring.
 
GAME TWO: GARDNER-WEBB 7, HARTFORD 2
The Hawks struck quickly in the second contest, with Jenice Aloyo drilling a triple to left center with one out in the top of the first. Fisher followed, and brought Aloyo home with a single to right that made it a 1-0 count.
 
But Gardner-Webb came right back with two in the bottom of the frame, one on a triple from Rachel Cumiskey and a second on a Scarlett Harris RBI single. Then in the second, the Bulldogs put up a five-spot on five hits and an error to take a 7-1 lead.
 
Hartford got one back in the top of the fifth on an unearned run that plated Alex Saharek on a pair of GWU errors. But that was as close as the Hawks would get, as the Bulldogs finished off the ballgame.
 
UP NEXT
Hartford will close out the Runnin' Bulldog Softball Tournament on Sunday at noon with a rematch against Hampton.
