Clark's Shutout Sparks Doubleheader Sweep for Softball at Albion

ALBION, Mich. – The Adrian College softball team traveled to Albion College for an MIAA doubleheader on Friday afternoon and came away with a two-game sweep. The Bulldogs won game one, 1-0, before taking game two, 14-6, in six innings.

HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME 1
  • Albion threatened in the second inning after loading the bases, but Adrian starting pitcher Avery Clark induced a flyout to escape the jam.
  • The Britons again put runners on second and third in the fifth, but Clark worked out of trouble to keep the game scoreless.
  • In the top of the seventh, Taylor Gerhardt singled and moved to third on a double by Karsyn Malinich. Abbie Hoff then drove in the game's only run with an RBI groundout for a 1-0 lead.
  • After Albion opened the bottom of the seventh with a hit, Clark shut the door to complete the shutout.
  • Adrian recorded five hits in the opener, while Clark allowed just four hits in the circle.
  • Clark improved to 6-0 on the season with a complete-game shutout, walking three and striking out nine.
HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME 2
  • Albion jumped out to a 5-0 lead with three runs in the first inning and two more in the second.
  • The Bulldogs answered with a six-run third inning. Alaina Craig delivered a two-run double, Hoff added an RBI double, and Peyton Russell drove in a run on a fielder's choice. Two additional runs scored on Albion errors.
  • Albion tied the game at 6-6 in the fourth inning.
  • Adrian regained control in the fifth, scoring seven runs on another Albion error, an RBI single from Hanna Walker, and a grand slam by Addison Inskeep to take a 13-6 lead.
  • In the sixth inning, Gerhardt ended the game with a single up the middle to enforce the eight-run mercy rule and secure the 14-6 victory.
  • Adrian totaled 13 hits in game two, led by three from Gerhardt and two each from Walker and Inskeep.
  • Lillian Utrup started in the circle and pitched three innings, allowing five runs on five hits. Hoff earned the win in relief after tossing two innings and allowing one run on four hits.
