Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

St. Louis, MO. (3/17/19) -- The University of Detroit Mercy softball team dropped both games on day two of the Billiken Spring Tourney in St. Louis, Missouri on Sunday afternoon.

On the day, Jordan Manno had four hits and an RBI, Kori Keyes had three hits and an RBI, McKenna Tanguay had one hit and two RBI and Courtney Gilbert had one hit and scored two runs.

DETROIT MERCY 4 – SAINT LOUIS 6
The red, white and blue fell behind early in the matchup when St. Louis put two runs on the board in the top of the first inning.

Ashley Mauser got the start on the mound, but was relieved of her duties early on as the Billikens seemingly had her number.

Liz Murphy came in for Mauser and got a pop out and struck the next batter out looking, stopping the early offense from St. Louis.

The Titans bats came alive in the top of the third inning. Liz Paver started the inning off with a walk, followed by a single to third base from Jen Lorenz.

Gilbert then drew a walk, loading the bases with no outs. After a pair of strikeouts, Keyes put the Titans on the board with a single to short stop.

With a 1-0 lead, Tanguay drove a single into left field, bringing home Gilbert and pinch runner Maggie Hampton, giving the Titans their first lead of the game, 3-2.

SLU tied the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the third, before taking the lead back in the bottom of the fourth, 4-3.

Gilbert led off the top of the fifth inning with a double down the right field line, followed by a double down the right field line from Manno, tying the score at 4-4.

The Billikens put two more runs on the board in the bottom of the fifth, giving them a 6-4 lead.

The Titans threatened in the top of the seventh when Gilbert and Manno reached on back-to-back errors, putting runners on first and second with no outs.

However, the rally came up just short, and they dropped the game by a final of 6-4.

Murphy pitched a strong game in the circle, going 4.1 innings, scattering eight hits, four runs (three earned), two walks and six strikeouts.

DETROIT MERCY 0 – SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE 9
Erica Guerrero got the start in the circle in game two, and went three innings, scattering five hits and four earned runs.

The Titans started the game out from the plate with a walk from Gilbert and a single through the right side from Manno, but a hard hit line-out from Ellie Boteler saw a triple play turned and ended the early threat from the red, white and blue.

SEMO took a lead in the top of the second inning when they scored two runs, making the score 2-0.

Keyes led off the bottom of the second inning with a single through the left side, but the Titans were unable to get anything going behind her.

Cami Sinclair came in for Guerrero in the fourth inning and tossed 1.1 innings, scattering three hits, one earned run, one walk and one strikeout.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Manno singled to shortstop, but the Titans were again unable to build any offensive momentum, this time trailing by a score of 4-0 after SEMO added two more in the top of the third inning.

Regan Glenn came in to pitch in the fifth inning and threw 1.2 innings, scattering two hits, two runs (one earned) and two strikeouts.

The Titans dropped the game by a final of 9-0.
