Box Score 2 CLERMONT, Fla. – The University of Southern Maine Huskies softball team concluded their spring training trip to Florida with a pair of losses. The Huskies fell to the Oberlin College Yeo 4-2 and then dropped a five-inning 20-5 decision to the nationally-ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks.
With the win over the Huskies, the nationally-ranked Warhawks improve to 9-1 on the season. Oberlin bounced back from a one-game slide to improve to 8-7. The Huskies are now 0-10.
In the first game, Oberlin junior Cheryl Lindsly (Oberlin, Oh.) drove in a pair of runs to lead the Yeo's to a 4-2 win. Oberlin scored three runs in the top of the second inning to take an early 3-0 lead.
The Huskies bounced back in the bottom of the third to trail 3-2 on RBIs from sophomore Annie Mitchell (Gorham, Maine) and junior Katie Davis (Woburn, Mass.). It was as close as the Huskies would get however, as Oberlin added an insurance run in the top of the sixth.
In the second game, the 12th ranked Warhawks banged out 25 hits to roll to a 20-0 five-inning shutout over the Huskies. The win was the fifth win by shut out this season for the Warhawks as junior Katie Boyle (Greendale, Wisc./Thomas More) held the Huskies' bats at bay without a hit over five innings. Boyle struck out three and did not give up a walk to improve to 3-0 on the season.
The Huskies return from Florida on Thursday and will begin its Little East Conference slate on the road at Western Connecticut State University on Saturday (1:00 p.m.)
