Roanoke Takes Opener Against Bridgewater

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

The Basics
Game 1 

Score: Roanoke 1 | Bridgewater 0
Records: Maroons 19-8 / 12-5 ODAC | Eagles 10-11 / 7-8 ODAC
Location: Salem, Va.

The Lead: The Roanoke softball team played host to Bridgewater in their final tune up prior to the start of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Softball Championships that start this Saturday. The first game with the Eagles was a low scoring pitcher's duel. A single Roanoke run in the third inning would prove to be all the offense that either team could produce and the Maroons picked up the 1-0 ODAC win. Game two would see Bridgewater race out to a 6-0 advantage. A three-run rally would cut the deficit in half, but in the end Roanoke would have to settle for a split with the Eagles.

The Basics
Game 2

Score: Roanoke 3 | Bridgewater 6
Records: Maroons 19-9 / 12-6 ODAC | Eagles 11-11 / 8-8 ODAC
Location: Salem, Va.

How it Happened:

  • On run in the first and three more in the third would put Bridgewater in front early. After two more Eagle runs, the deficit for the Maroons would reach 6-0.
  • Emma Killion would keep RC off the board until the bottom of the third.
  • Madelyne Culkin singled to left and when Lilly Burns reached on an infield base hit, Roanoke had runners on first and second. A ground out would advance the runners into scoring position and a Katelyn Craghead single up the middle would plate Culkin, advancing on the throw to the plate. Meri Bostic cut the deficit in half when she sent a two RBI base hit to center field.
  • Sirbaugh and Sammie Murphy were each 2-2. Savannah Thorne pitched two innings of shut-out relief, giving up just one hit.

Up Next: Roanoke will host Randolph-Macon in the 4/5 matchup in the quarterfinals of the 2021 ODAC Softball Tournament on Saturday. Game times will be announced later in the week.
