RedHawks Blow Past Butler, 10-3

OXFORD, Ohio – Miami softball recorded 12 hits and added nine walks in a 10-3 win over Butler University on Wednesday afternoon. Nine different RedHawks posted hits and Madie Patton secured her first career grand slam in the sixth inning.
 
How it Happened:
  • Madilyn Reeves walked the first two batters of the contest. After a sacrifice bunt, Reeves recorded a strikeout and a line out to third base to shut down the Bulldogs.
  • With the bases loaded in the bottom of the first, Danitza Hernandez drew the fourth walk of the inning to spot Miami an early 1-0 lead. Hernandez added a single in the third to plate Jenna Golembiewski for a 2-0 Miami advantage.
  • The Bulldogs opened the fourth inning with runners on second and third with no outs, before Reeves once again pitched out of a jam. After a fielder's choice made it 2-1, the Bulldogs loaded the bases with one out. Reeves recorded the second out of the inning with a strikeout and then the Bulldogs were caught stealing home to end the threat.
  • Shelby Kunkel's double to right center brought home Kaylee Oh in the bottom of the fourth and Erin Pinter's single past the third baseman brought home two RedHawks for a 4-1 lead.
  • Butler closed the gap in the fifth with a two-out single between three Miami defenders to plate two Bulldogs.
  • Kunkel lined a single to centerfield in the bottom of the fifth to bring around Sydney Gilbert for a 5-3 Miami lead.
  • Ella Carter singled to left field to score Golembiewski in the sixth to make it 6-3. Two batters later Patton hit a grand slam over the left-center wall for a 10-3 Miami advantage.
 
Game Notes:
  • Mckenna Campbell recorded three walks on the day.
  • The Patton grand slam was the first of her career and the four RBI was a career best.
  • Kunkel and Hernandez had two RBI apiece.
  • Reeves allowed just five hits over five innings of works and Léa Chevrier allowed no hits over two innings of work to pick up the save.
