Softball Splits With Whitter On Day One Of California Trip

Sophomore Riley Anderson hit a pair of two-run home runs in game two

WHITTIER, Calif.—Lewis & Clark College softball earned a doubleheader split against Whittier College on day one of their Southern California road trip. 
 
THE BASICS
 
Whittier College 6, Lewis & Clark 2
Lewis & Clark 6, Whittier 0
(Lewis & Clark 3-1) 
(Whittier 3-1) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
 
After a 6-2 setback in the opener, freshman Tallulah Sickels and sophomore Riley Anderson combined to help the Pioneers hand the Poets their first loss of the season. 
 
GAME ONE RECAP 
 
Freshman Lainey Honma went 3-3 with a stolen base in her first collegiate softball start, but the hosts jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two and the Pioneers comeback efforts fell short. 
 
Freshmen Emily Patton and Madison Scroggins, junior Mari Alvarez and Anderson all added singles in the loss. 
 
In the circle, freshman Maggie O'Leary made her first collegiate start. She allowed five hits, one walk and five runs, while striking out two in 1.2 innings. Senior Alyssa Abe came on in relief and scattered four hits, one walk and one run over the final 4.1 innings. 
 
Whittier senior Katelyn Calvetti earned her first win of the year by allowing two runs over seven innings. 
 
The hosts jumped out to a 2-0 lead after one and used two home runs in the second to extend their lead to 5-0. 
 
Lewis & Clark broke up the shutout bid in the fifth. Freshmen McKenna Zehnder worked a leadoff walk and was replaced on the base paths by freshman Lola Jarrette. Jarrette took second on a wild pitch and scored on a Patton RBI single. 
 
After Whittier answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth, Lewis & Clark put pressure on the hosts in the final two innings. In the sixth, Alvarez and senior Kalea Kaui opened the inning with walks and the Pios loaded the bases with no outs on a Scroggins single. Whittier came through with a big double play that freshman Gina Ozuna scored on. 
 
In the seventh, Lewis & Clark put three runners on. Patton worked a walk but was eliminated on another double play. Honma followed with a walk and freshman Lacey Marglin worked a walk to put the tying run in the on-deck circle. Calvetti induced a grounder back to the circle to end the threat and the game. 
 
GAME TWO RECAP 
 
Sickels held the hosts to just two hits and Anderson bashed a pair of two-run home runs to help the Pioneers earn the split. 
 
For the second-consecutive outing, Sickels frustrated the opponents' lineup. The freshman scattered two singles and a hit by pitch in her second shutout in as many collegiate outings. 
 
Anderson and Kaui provided all the offense Sickels would need. Anderson went 2-3 with two runs and four RBI. Kaui, who was on base for both of Anderson's homers, finished 2-4 with two runs and two RBI of her own. Patton posted the Pioneers only other hit in the game. 
 
After both pitchers retired the sides in order in the first and second innings, Lewis & Clark opened the scoring in the top of the third. 
 
Sickels was the first batter to reach in the game when she led off the third with a walk. Sophomore Kate Ingersoll followed with a hit by pitch, but Whittier's Jamie Garvey settled down and recorded back-to-back groundouts to leave Ingersoll and senior Alyssa Hoeke in scoring position with two down. Kaui broke the deadlock with a two-run single to left to score both runners. Anderson followed with a two-run shot to right-center to make it 4-0 Pioneers. 
 
Whittier finally recorded their first hit in the bottom of the fourth with two outs. Junior Marissa Flynn singled to right-center to break up a streak of 11 consecutive outs to start the game for Sickels. 
 
In the top of the fifth, Kaui doubled with two outs and Anderson crushed a homer over the left-field fence to make it 6-0. 
 
Whittier put together their best scoring chance in the seventh. With two outs, Maya Palos was hit by a pitch and Jocelyn Signretti followed with a single to put two runners on for the first time. Sickels induced a ground ball to close out the win. 
 
BY THE NUMBERS
  • In 12 innings of collegiate softball, Sickels has allowed five singles, one double, one hit by pitch and zero runs. She has also struck out six batters. 
  • Four Pioneers made their collegiate softball debuts on Friday. Freshman Cami Restagno started at third base in game two and O'Leary earned the start in the circle in game one. Megan Yanagi and Ozuna each came off the bench in game one.  
  • Patton and Anderson have each hit safely in all four of the team's games. Patton is 4-9, while Anderson and Kaui are each 5-12.
  • With their game two victory, Lewis & Clark snapped a four-game losing streak against Whittier dating back to February 10, 2018. 
  • The Pioneers are already tied for second in program history in shutouts in a single-season with two. The 2001 team holds the program record with six shutouts in a season.
