OXFORD, Ohio—A six-run fourth inning that was punctuated with a grand slam by junior Adriana Barlow, iced a 10-0 five-inning win for the Miami University softball team over Western Michigan University on Sunday afternoon. The RedHawks, who swept the four-game weekend series against the Broncos, improve to 11-6 on the season and 4-0 in Mid-American Conference play. The Broncos drop to 4-13 overall and 0-4 in MAC action.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Miami took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first when a junior Allie Cummins double to right center plated sophomore Kate Kobayashi. Cummins advanced to third on the next at-bat and then scored on a senior Jada Dotson single to left field.
A freshman Karli Spaid triple down the right field line allowed junior Riley Coyne to cross the plate in the bottom of the second inning. Spaid then scored on a wild pitch to put the RedHawks up 4-0.
Back-to-back RBI doubles by freshman Holly Blaska and Spaid allowed Miami to extend its lead to 6-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning. With bases loaded and two outs, Barlow stepped to the plate and blasted a grand slam over the centerfield fence to lift Miami to a 10-0 lead, which would be the final margin.

NOTES:

The Miami pitching staff of junior Brianna Pratt, senior Courtney Vierstra and senior Taylor Rathe gave up just three hits over five innings while striking out 10 Bronco batters.
Spaid went 2-for-2 on the day with two runs and two RBI, while freshman Karlee Juarez was the other RedHawk with a multi-hit day, going 2-for-3 with a run.
Three of the RedHawks' four weekend games against the Broncos went five innings.

UP NEXT:
The RedHawks head to the University of Dayton for a 3 p.m. game on Wednesday, March 24.
