Highlanders Fall in Two Close Games

CLERMONT, Fla. -- Despite their most productive day on the base paths, Houghton softball was unable to secure a win Friday, losing 9-7 to New England College and 6-4 to John Carroll University.

Game 1
New England 9, Houghton 7

Houghton fell behind 2-0 in the first and was able to pull within a run in the second, but New England scored four times in the top of the third to go up 6-1. The lead grew to 8-2 in the fourth after two more New England runs, before the Highlanders exploded for five runs in the bottom of the fifth.

That inning featured seven hits by the Highlanders, all singles. Houghton just missed out on another run when Hannah Haskell was thrown out at home trying to score from second on a Taylor Sile single.

New England stretched the lead to 9-7 in the top of the sixth and Houghton could manage just a single hit in their final seven at bats.

Two more runs by the Highlanders in the top of third upped the lead to 4-0. Houghton produced three hits and stole a base and took advantage of a John Carroll error and wild pitch. 

John Carroll scored three times in the bottom of the fourth to pull within a run. Houghton had a chance for more runs in the top of the sixth, After Katie Jones singled, Kaylee Jentsch stroked a double into the outfield. Jones tried to reach home but was thrown out at the plate.
