Box Score

ATHENS, Ga. – The Miami University softball team routed Furman University 8-0 in five innings on Sunday morning. A quick attack in the first inning of play helped the RedHawks to the victory. Miami moves to 15-6 on the season while Furman drops to 10-12.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

In the bottom of the first, an RBI single from Holly Blaska scored Allie Cummins and put the RedHawks on the board at 1-0.
Still in that inning, Kate Kobayashi walked with the bases loaded and Jenna Golembiewski crossed the plate to double the lead. Chloe Parks followed that up with a 2-RBI single that scored Blaska and Karli Spaid to push the lead to 4-0.
Sami Bewick hit a sac ground out, still in the first inning, that allowed Kobayashi to score. Mckenna Campbell then hit an RBI double that scored Parks and stretched the deficit to 6-0.
In the bottom of the fifth, a two-run homer from Golembiewski where Kari Krueger also crossed the plate, made it an 8-0 game, which the RedHawks held through the conclusion of the five-inning game.

NOTES:

Golembiewski went 3-for-4 at the plate. Spaid went 2-for-2.
Parks and Golembiewski each knocked in two RBI.
Seven different RedHawks had hits.
Ashley Hitchcock went the full five innings in the circle, allowing only two hits, and striking out four.
