The Indians struggled to generate offense early, managing just two hits in the first game.<\/p>\n
Trinity took control in the opening inning, using a solo home run and a two-run single to jump out to a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Manhattan\u2019s lone run came off the bat of Josi Alesana, who drove in the Indians\u2019 only score. Alesana and Aslyn Foveaux accounted for the team\u2019s two hits.<\/p>\n
Despite the loss, Manhattan was clean defensively, turning a double play and committing no errors. In the circle, Allison Heidrick went six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking three.<\/p>\n
Manhattan bounced back in the nightcap behind early offense and a strong outing from Alesana.<\/p>\n
The Indians struck first in the opening inning, as Alesana launched a two-run home run to right field to give Manhattan an early lead.<\/p>\n
Kat Ball followed with a solo home run in the second, extending the advantage, before Manhattan added two more runs in the third on an RBI single from Alesana and a sacrifice situation that allowed Neitzel to score.<\/p>\n
Alesana led the way offensively, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs, while the Indians totaled seven hits. In the circle, the sophomore went the distance, allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out seven and walking three.<\/p>\n
