Pioneers Split Day 1 in Lubbock

The Pioneers went to Texas and split 2 games vs. NCAA D2 opponents on Friday. The first was against Western New Mexico and MNU got on the board in the fourth when Alexis Pacheco was hit by a pitch and stole second. One out later, Hayley Gately's single drove home Pacheno for a 1-0 lead. Western New Mexico tied the game in the fifth, but MNU answered right away. In the top of the sixth, Felisha Vogelaar led off with a double and advanced to third on a Pacheco single. Madison McKay singled home 1 and Gately's RBI groundout gave the Pioneers a 2-run lead, and MNU piled on in the seventh. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases, and McKay's 2-run double broke the game open. Kaity Wills doubled home 2 more, and the inning ended with a 9-1 advantage. WNM rallied for 3 in the seventh, but MNU captured their first victory of the season.

Taylor Pearcy pitched well for 4.2 innings in a no-decision. Megan Schwindler pick up the win in relief. And Alexis Pacheco (2-3, 3 R, 2 SB, HBP), Madison McKay (2-4, R, 2B, 3 RBI), Hayley Gately (1-3, R, 2 RBI, BB), and Kaity Wills (1-3, R, 2B, 2 RBI) led the offense.

The second game against host Lubbock Christian. LCU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but MNU came back in the third with 4 runs on 1 hit thanks to 2 errors and a hit batsman. A 2-run triple and a sacrifice fly gave LCU a 5-4 lead in the fifth, and MNU could not make the comeback. Lubbock added 1 more in the sixth to win 6-4. Felisha Vogelaar (1-3, R) and Kimberly Montoya (1-3, R) got MNU's 2 hits.

MNU is 1-1. The Pioneers play 3 games on Saturday: Western New Mexico at 10:00, Lubbock Christian at noon, and Oklahoma Panhandle State at 3:00.
