PLATTEVILLE, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin-Platteville softball team (22-10) split a non-conference doubleheader Thursday with Augustana College (19-11). The Pioneers captured game two 4-1 after falling 8-1 in the opener.
In the second game, after the Vikings scored their only run in the first inning, the Pioneers tied and took over the lead in the bottom of the same inning and never looked back.
In the first inning, Freshman Allison Peters hit a ground-rule double to drive in one run and Peters scored when senior Danielle Trumbo singled to center field. One inning later, freshman Mia Savage's RBI single to left field extended the lead to 3-1 and freshman Felicia Teubert batted in an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth.
Sophomore Carlie Jo Brownlee (6-4) pitched a complete game in the nightcap and tallied a career-best 10 strikeouts. Brownlee walked two and allowed four hits.
In game one, the Vikings scored first in the fourth inning with a 2RBI homerun. An inning later, the Pioneers cut the visitor's lead in half with a run scored on an error, but in the top of the sixth, the Vikings scored three runs and then added two more in the seventh.
Junior Taylor Roughen (14-5) pitched the first five innings of game one and struck out six, walked two and allowed three hits and three earned runs.
Due to forecasted rain over the weekend, the Pioneers' upcoming plans have changed. Sunday's games against Simpson College are canceled and the UW-Eau Claire doubleheader is now scheduled for Monday, April 29 in Platteville at 3 and 5 p.m.
