History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Golden Grizzlies traveled for their first of two midweek doubleheaders down south. In a pair of games with the Tigers, the Golden Grizzlies fell by a combined two runs, going 0-2 on the day in a pair of tightly contested\u00a0games.<\/p>\n
\nThe Golden Grizzlies put up a spirited fight but ultimately fell to the University of Memphis 5-4 in game one of their Tuesday Doubleheader against the Tigers.<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies came out swinging, with Autumn Liebhauser<\/a> launching a solo home run to deep left in the first inning, giving Oakland an early 1-0 edge. However, the Tigers quickly countered with two runs, including a triple by Neely Taylor, to end the inning ahead 2-1.<\/p>\n Memphis added to their lead in the second inning, bringing the score to 4-1. Oakland didn’t back down and clawed their way back in the fourth. Kamryn Troyer<\/a> crossed the plate on a fielder’s choice paired with a throwing error, while Kayla Rodriguez<\/a> capitalized on a fielding error to close the gap to 4-3.<\/p>\n In the sixth, the Golden Grizzlies leveled the playing field. Kayla Turmell<\/a> singled up the middle, advanced on a sacrifice bunt, and was driven home by a clutch triple from Addison Kopp<\/a>. The score was tied up at 4-4, setting the stage for a tense finish.<\/p>\n The heartbreaker came in the seventh, when Memphis clinched the win with a walk-off single by Kennedy Semien, sealing a 5-4 victory for the Tigers.<\/p>\n Oakland’s pitchers put in a solid effort. Alyssa Balcom<\/a> came in for relief duty, tossing 4 1\/3 innings and giving up just one earned run on four hits. She threw 85 pitches, 47 of them strikes, and issued two walks while hitting two batters.<\/p>\n GAME 2<\/p>\n \nThe Golden Grizzlies put up a valiant effort in game two as well, but ultimately fell 2-1 in a pitcher’s duel of a game to close out the day.<\/p>\n Oakland started strong in the first inning. Addison Kopp<\/a> singled, hustled to third on a wild pitch and a walk, setting the stage. Maggie Murphy’s<\/a> infield single loaded the bases, and Kayla Turmell’s<\/a> sacrifice fly brought Kopp home. Memphis quickly responded with a solo homer by Ariel Davis, ending the inning in a 1-1 tie.<\/p>\n The third inning saw the Tigers edge ahead. Paris Brienesse singled, advanced on Neely Taylor’s hit, and scored on Faith Brown’s sacrifice fly, giving Memphis a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n Both teams showcased solid defense, keeping the scoreboard unchanged through the remainder of the game. The Golden Grizzlies had chances, like Storm Kentros’<\/a> single in the fourth, but couldn’t capitalize. Addison Caldwell<\/a> did her part with two hits in three at-bats, while Murphy added another hit, advancing runners in her three plate appearances.<\/p>\n Memphis maintained their advantage, sealing the 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n
