Highlanders Get Two-Game Split with Delhi

HOUGHTON, N.Y. – Houghton softball split its first home doubleheader of the season to SUNY Delhi on Friday, losing 4-2 in the opener before getting the 4-0 shutout to wrap up the day.

The results put the Highlanders at 7-6 overall on the season.

The teams were treated to a beautiful spring day, with temperatures in the low 70s.

Game 1
After surrendering the first two runs of the contest in the top of the third, Houghton responded to tie the score in the bottom of the frame. Hannah Haskell drove in Grace Thompson with an RBI single to pull the Highlanders to within a run before Carlee Miller knotted the score at two with her second homer of the season.

Delhi pull ahead for good in the top of the seventh with three hits that drove in two runs.

Houghton had their opportunities but stranded 11 runners on base, including several in run-scoring position.

Kayla Loomis gave up all four runs on 12 hits over seven innings. She struck out four and didn't walk a batter as her record dropped to 4-6 on the campaign.

Game 2
Houghton had better luck in the nightcap, getting out to an early 1-0, thanks to a Miller double that drove in Thompson. Thompson got her own run-scoring double in the bottom of the fifth to push the advantage to 2-0.

The Highlanders added two more scores in the bottom of the sixth to secure the victory.

Jen Burrows got the win, giving up five hits over seven innings. She struck out one and walked one.

The team produced eight hits in the contest. Thompson was 2 for 3 with a run scored and an RBI to lead the Houghton batters.

"Delhi is a great hitting team," said Houghton Head Coach Chad Muise. "Our pitchers and defense did a great job to keep their bats to a reasonable level. We missed some timely hitting, and didn't string as much together as we would have hoped, but we definitely showed a lot of competitive efforts across the day. We are excited to play a lot in the next couple of weeks, allowing us to fine tune some of the execution we missed on today."

Houghton won't have much of a break, as they return to action for a doubleheader at Chatham on Saturday starting at 1 p.m.
