Rams fall in tight twinbill against (RV) Johnson in AAC doubleheader

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - CIU softball (19-21, 12-12 AAC) hit the road to face (RV) Johnson University on Thursday afternoon. Despite outhitting the Royals (22-9, 17-5 AAC) in both games, the Rams came up just short in each, falling in a pair of close contests to drop the series.

Game One: Johnson 3 CIU 1: Neither team managed to bring runners home in the opening two innings, but the Royals broke through in the bottom of the third, plating two runs on three hits. The Rams looked poised to respond in the top of the fourth after back-to-back singles from Lilli Petty and Macey Drye, followed by a walk to Carmella Korte to load the bases. However, a flyout ended the threat with all runners left stranded. Johnson tacked on another run in the bottom half to make it 3-0. CIU broke through in the fifth, as a single from Caydon Thompson scored Abigail Guthrie to cut into the deficit. The Rams continued to fight in the seventh, with singles from Noriega and Guthrie, but were unable to capitalize as the comeback bid fell short.

Box Score Highlights: 

  • Guthrie, Drye, and Raleigh Stewart led the team with two hits. 

  • The Rams totalled nine hits to outhit the Royals 9-6.

  • Miranda Fulmer closed the game, allowing no hits or runs in the final two frames. 

Game Two: Johnson 2 CIU 1: The Royals capitalized on a CIU defensive miscue to break the scoreless tie in the third inning. In the top of the sixth, back-to-back singles from Stewart and Drye put runners on the corners, and a perfectly executed double steal brought Stewart home to tie the game at 1-1. The momentum was short-lived, however, as the Royals answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead. Guthrie singled in the seventh, but the Rams were unable to mount a rally as three quick outs ended the game.

Box Score Highlights: 

  • Guthrie, Stewart, and Mia Johsnon notched two hits. 

  • Once again, the Rams outhit the Royals 11-5. 

  • Abby Ragan and Fulmer combined for three strikeouts. 

Up Next: The Rams close out Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) play on the road, heading to Barbourville, Ky., on Wednesday, April 23, to take on Union Commonwealth at 1 and 3 p.m. EST.
