DETROIT (3-22-25) - Freshman
Erin Flynn had a solid performance in the circle, tossing seven scoreless innings with two strikeouts while allowing her only two runs off a double in the top of the eighth inning as Detroit Mercy came up short in a 2-1 setback against Youngstown State in the series finale at Buysse Ballpark on Saturday afternoon.
Freshman
Wendy Ketola went 1-for-3 with a clutch RBI double in the bottom of the eighth inning. Juniors
Jenna Holt and
Trinity Fessler, along with freshmen
Natalie Babcock and
Allison Fluker, each accounted for a hit to round out the five total for UDM (5-15, 2-1HL). The Titans were also held scoreless for seven innings by YSU (5-25, 1-5 HL) pitcher Kelsey Orin.
Recap:
• Holt got the first hit for the Titans in the first inning. She stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error but was left stranded.
• YSU broke through in the eighth inning with a two-run double with two outs to take a 2-0 lead.
• Fluker led off the bottom of the eighth with a single, followed by Ketola's double to bring her home, pulling the Titans within a run at 2-1.
• After the next two batters flew and fouled out, Fessler drew a walk to put two runners aboard.
• Davis then made good contact with the ball, driving it to deep center field, but it didn't have enough to get over the fence.
Detroit Mercy travels to Purdue Fort Wayne for a #HLSB series beginning on Friday, Mar. 28 at 3 p.m.
