(RV) Softball Battles but Drops Doubleheader to (11) Grand View

NORWALK, Iowa - The (RV) Ottawa University softball team fought through two tightly contested games on Sunday afternoon but came up just short in both ends of a doubleheader against (11) Grand View University. The Braves were limited offensively in the opener and lost 6–1 before dropping a heartbreaker in extra innings, 2–1, in game two.

Game 1: Grand View 6, Ottawa 1
Grand View capitalized on a few early Ottawa miscues and used a four-run third inning to pull away for a 6–1 victory in the first game of the doubleheader.

Ottawa actually outhit the Vikings 7–3, but defensive errors allowed Grand View to score three unearned runs and seize control early.

The Braves threatened in the first inning when Brookelynn Becker doubled and Emma Melvin followed with a single, but Ottawa was unable to bring the runners home. Grand View then scored twice in the bottom of the first and added four runs in the third inning to build a 6–1 lead.

Ottawa's lone run came in the third inning when Becker singled up the middle to score Lilli Richerson. Despite putting runners on base throughout the game, the Braves were unable to mount a larger rally.

Game 2: Grand View 2, Ottawa 1 (8 innings)
The second game turned into a pitchers' duel, with Ottawa taking an early lead before Grand View rallied late and won in the eighth inning.

Ottawa struck first in the fourth inning when Brookelynn Becker launched a solo home run to give the Braves a 1–0 lead. The Braves' defense and pitching kept the Vikings off the board for much of the game.
