Lady Cougars just miss win No. 1 in Game 1

Sat., March 8, 2008

  SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Whitney Piercefield doubled twice and knocked in a run, but it wasn't enough for the University of Saint Francis in its opening game in the SCAD Smash Hit Invitational. Reinhardt College held on to edge USF 3-2 on Saturday morning.

  In the Lady Cougars' second game, Northwood University (FL) dominated to take a 9-1 decision.

  Kassidy DeVree had two bunt hits in the first game for USF. Leigh Wells and Kyle Rosecrants scored a run apiece for the Lady Cougars. Amber Ludwig pitched all seven innings and suffered the loss in the circle.

  Jessica Wood scored on a wild pitch in the first inning of Game 2 giving USF a 1-0 lead. But after starting pitcher Tiffany Steinbrunner pitched two scoreless innings, Northwood scored five in the third to take control and chase Steinbrunner, though only one of Northwood's eight runs off Steinbrunner in the third and fourth inning was earned. USF committed four errors.

  USF only managed two hits, one apiece for Piercefield and DeVree. Piercefield's single leading off the fourth inning ended the no-hit bid.
