Farmville, Va. \u2013 Youngstown State scored eight runs in the top of the fourth inning to coast to a 9-1 five-inning victory over Penn on Friday afternoon at the Bank of the James Invitational. The Penguins also dropped a 10-1 decision to Longwood earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
Senior Ashlyn Bishop<\/a>, who had three hits on the day, went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBIs and sophomore Bella Meyer<\/a> was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and drove in another.<\/p>\n Sophomore Isabella O’Brien<\/a> tossed a complete-game three-hitter with three strikeouts to pick up her first victory of the season.<\/p>\n The Penguins jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the third when Meyer reached on an error, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Bree Kohler<\/a> and went to third on a wild pitch. Bishop drove in Meyer with a single down the left-field line.<\/p>\n After the Quakers knotted the game with a run in the bottom half of the third, the Penguins exploded for eight runs on five hits. Pinch-runner Tatum Werley<\/a> scored on an error to break the tie, and Meyer run-scoring bunt single plated Kennedy Dean<\/a>, who walked. Bishop’s two-out single through the right side scored Ayla Ray<\/a>, and consecutive bases-loaded walks to Lydia Wilkerson<\/a> and Emma Gilkerson<\/a> pushed the YSU lead to 7-1.<\/p>\n Tai Turner<\/a> and Dean posted back-to-back run scoring singles that plated plate Macy Littler<\/a> and Wilkerson with the game’s final runs.<\/p>\n In the opener, Wilkerson and Bishop each tallied base knocks for the Penguins.<\/p>\n Youngstown State faces Mt. St. Mary’s and Hampton, Saturday, at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., respectively.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
