History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Oakland traveled to the west side of the state for a matchup against Western Michigan, where despite a combined four home runs on the day, Oakland fell in both legs of the doubleheader against the Broncos.<\/p>\n GAME 1<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies battled hard in the doubleheader opener, but ultimately fell in a wild slugfest, 16\u201313. Despite the loss, Oakland had their most explosive offensive game of the season, posting a season-high with 15 hits and 13 runs.<\/p>\n The Grizzlies stormed out of the gate with a dominant first inning. Maggie Murphy<\/a> kick-started the action with a solo shot to left center. With the bases alive, Brooklyn Wyczalek<\/a> punched a single up the middle, bringing home two. Then, Taylor Carraway<\/a> unleashed a three-run blast to left, putting us ahead 6\u20130 at the close of the first.<\/p>\n In the third, Oakland tacked on another as Wyczalek crossed the plate on a throwing error, extending our lead to 7\u20132 after WMU answered back with two runs of their own.<\/p>\n The fifth inning saw the Grizzlies stretch their lead even further. Autumn Liebhauser<\/a> launched a two-run homer, and Murphy tripled to drive in another, pushing the score to 10\u20139, though the Broncos responded with a three-run reply.<\/p>\n As the seventh inning rolled around, Oakland mounted a fierce rally with three additional runs. Murphy’s clutch double to right center brought in two, closing the gap, but WMU managed to hang on, sealing a 16\u201313 victory behind a seven-run sixth inning.<\/p>\n Offensively, Maggie Murphy<\/a> was electric, delivering a season-high three hits, featuring a home run, a triple, and a double, and driving in four runs. Taylor Carraway<\/a> was also instrumental with three hits, including a homer, and three RBI. Brooklyn Wyczalek<\/a> chipped in with two hits and two RBI, while Autumn Liebhauser<\/a> showcased her power with a home run and two RBI.<\/p>\n GAME 2<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies faced a tough outing in game number two, falling 9-2. Oakland’s offensive spark came courtesy of a fifth-inning homer that delivered both runs.<\/p>\n After taking a 3-0 lead early, WMU surged ahead with four more runs in the fourth inning as Niles struck a two-run homer, followed by a solo shot from Jordan Smith, widening the gap to 7-0.<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies answered back in the fifth when Autumn Liebhauser<\/a> launched a two-run home run, bringing Kamryn Troyer<\/a> home and narrowing the deficit to 7-2.<\/p>\n In the sixth inning, the Broncos sealed the deal with a two-run homer by C. Tighe, wrapping up the game at 9-2 in favor of Western Michigan.<\/p>\n Kamryn Troyer<\/a> made her mark with a hit, a run scored, and a stolen base. Addison Kopp<\/a> contributed a hit and two assists in the field. Leading our offense, Liebhauser notched a home run, marking back-to-back games with homers, and two RBIs.<\/p>\n Next up, the Golden Grizzlies will square off against Robert Morris University on Friday, March 27, at 3 p.m. ET. Catch the action at the Oakland Softball Field in Rochester, Michigan.
