Maddy Pfortmiller and
Cora Aubert each tossed one-hitters as the Beloit College softball team swept Maranatha Baptist in a twinbill Tuesday afternoon. The Bucs took both games in five inning fashion, the first 8-0 and the nightcap 14-0.
Beloit scored 22 runs on 23 hits while allowing just two hits for the Sabercats on the day. Offensively, freshman
Kit Kronberger had a breakout day. She was perfect at the plate going 3-for-3 with a pair of homeruns and a double to register five RBI.
In the opener, Pfortmiller struck out six and issued just one walk to improve to 4-4 on the season.
Hannah Beran highlighted a five-run fourth for the Bucs tagging a double to left field that cleared the bases for three RBI.
Stephannie Lopez brought in the fourth run on a sacrifice fly before Kronberger wrapped up the scoring with her first collegiate long ball.
Six Bucs were perfect on their opportunities at the plate led by a 3-for-3 game in the batter's box by Sidda Meyers.
Beloit's offense continued to roll in game two plating four runs in the bottom of the first before exploding for nine runs in the third.
Kronberger kicked off the scoring with a three-run blast.
Maddie Moser brought in the Bucs' fourth run of the first frame with a double to left field.
Kronberger capitalized again in the third tagging a double to center field that brought in the first run of the inning. Hits from
Isabel Johnson, Moser, Lopez and
Riley Conn all brought in runs while
Helena Harrison and
Kaitlynn Taft plated runs after taking one for the team with bases loaded.
Lopez, Kronberger and Moser were all 2-for-2 at the plate to bolster the Bucs' offense.
Aubert tossed a gem fanning nine without issuing a single free base in the contest to pickup the complete game win.
