YOUNGSTOWN, Oh. – The Golden Grizzlies fell to Green Bay in the opening game of the Horizon League Championship by a final score of 11-4. Oakland tallied nine hits, including three doubles and a home run, but was unable to maintain an early four-run lead they established in the first inning.<\/p>\n

The Golden Grizzlies began the game with a strong offensive performance in the first inning, scoring four runs. Addison Caldwell<\/a> doubled to right center, and after a walk to Maggie Murphy<\/a>, Kayla Turmell<\/a> reached on a fielder’s choice that allowed Caldwell to score. Kam Troyer, who has been on a hot streak with 2 hits in back-to-back games, then homered to left field, bringing in Turmell. Taylor Carraway<\/a> followed with a single, and Autumn Liebhauser<\/a> doubled to drive in Carraway. At the end of the first inning, the Golden Grizzlies held a commanding 4-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the second inning, the Phoenix’s Sidney Lamotte hit a solo home run. The Golden Grizzlies managed a triple by Brooklyn Plitz<\/a> in the bottom half, but weren’t able to score, maintaining a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n

The third inning saw the Phoenix tie the game at 4-4 after Emily Jones hit a two-run homer, and a throwing error contributed to an additional run.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix took the lead in the fourth inning, scoring two runs on a pair of doubles, moving the score to 6-4 as the momentum fully shifted in their favor.<\/p>\n

The Golden Grizzlies were held scoreless in the fifth inning, despite singles by Murphy and Troyer as the team struggled to rediscover any rhythm at the plate.<\/p>\n

In the sixth inning, the Phoenix extended their lead to 10-4, highlighted by a three-run home run by Lamotte.<\/p>\n

The Golden Grizzlies’ defense allowed one more run in the seventh inning on a single by Gracie Anderson, concluding the game with the Phoenix winning 11-4.<\/p>\n

Troyer led the way for the Golden Grizzlies, hitting a home run and driving in two runs. Murphy contributed with two hits, including a double, while also drawing two walks. Plitz added a triple to her performance, collecting one hit in the game. Turmell scored a run and recorded an RBI despite not getting a hit.<\/p>\n
