Softball's offense struggles in pair of losses to Colby

WATERVILLE, Maine -- The Bates softball team scored just one run over the course of two games Wednesday, falling by scores of 7-0 and 2-1 to Colby in NESCAC action. 

The Bobcats (10-8, 4-4 NESCAC) will look to bounce back this Saturday when they visit Hamilton for a doubleheader starting at 12pm. 

Game One: Colby 7, Bates 0

Abby Orso tossed a complete game five-hitter and the Mules blanked the Bobcats 7-0 in game one of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Colby plated four runs in the first inning and never looked back, keyed by a Logan Luebbe two-run home run. 

First-year Madison Hollis (McMinnville, Tenn.) went 3-3 at the plate to lead the Bobcats. She was also the only Bates player to reach second base in the contest. 

Chloe Wilcox had a big game for Colby, going 3-4 with a home run and two runs scored. Orso (5-4) also doubled and drove in two runs at the plate. 

First-year Delaney Rankin (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) tossed a complete game but took the loss in the circle for Bates.

Game Two: Colby 2, Bates 1

The Bobcats grabbed the early lead in game two of Wednesday's twin bill, but the Mules scored one in the second and one in the third to beat Bates 2-1. 

With one out in the top of the first, sophomore Sarah Cooke (Wenham, Mass.) got the offense going with a single. She stole second and scored on a double from first-year Kennedy Jones (Ocean Springs, Miss.), putting Bates up 1-0. 

Hollis (3-3) retired the side in order in the bottom of the first, but the Mules tied the game in the second on an Emma Burnham RBI single.

Colby took advantage of a Bates error in the third to score an unearned run off Hollis. A Luebbe RBI single put the Mules (14-8, 3-3 NESCAC) ahead for good. 

The Bobcats threatened in the fifth when senior Katherine Merisotis (Coventry, Conn.) ripped a two-out double. But she was left stranded and Colby starter Sam Ahlholm (5-2) did not allow another baserunner on her way to a complete game four-hitter.

Hollis pitched well for Bates, allowing just one earned run and striking out three while holding the Mules to six hits.
