Mary Newton<\/a> pitched four innings, allowing just three hits in a solid outing.<\/p>\n GAME 2\u00a0<\/p>\n The Golden Grizzlies fought valiantly in game two, but ultimately fell by a narrow margin of 4\u20133 in the finale at Meserve Field. Oakland rallied with three runs in the sixth inning, but it was not enough to overcome Bowling Green’s early lead.<\/p>\n Bowling Green took an early lead in the first inning when Simko homered to right field, bringing in two runs. The Golden Grizzlies were unable to score in the opening inning, leaving the score at 2-0 in favor of the Falcons after one inning.<\/p>\n In the second inning, Hutter’s double drove in another run for BGSU.
