Softball splits on opening day

CLAREMONT, Calif. – Whitworth University opened the 2024 softball season with a split at Pomona-Pitzer on Friday afternoon.  The Pirates dropped the first game 5-0 but won the second game 4-2 behind the solid pitching of Momi Lyman and two home runs.

Whitworth continues the season opening trip to Southern California with a doubleheader at Redlands on Saturday, beginning at 11:00 am.

Game 1 – Pomona-Pitzer 5, Whitworth 0
Sagehen starting pitcher Devin Waddell threw a complete-game one-hitter to give Pomona-Pitzer (1-3) its first victory of the season.

Waddell (1-0) effectively used her defense and only struck out one Pirate.  She walked three batters but got 11 ground outs.

Pomona-Pitzer got two runs off Whitworth starting pitcher Corinne Vasiloff in the third on Emily Hurtado's two-run single.  The Sagehens added three more in the fifth, including a two-run double by Natalie Marguia.

Waddell also went 2-4 at the plate to support her cause.

Jazz Johnson had the Pirates' only hit of the game. 

Vasiloff (0-1) allowed five earned runs on ten hits and two walks in 5.0 innings.  She struck out one batter.  Reiss McIntyre worked a hitless inning in relief for Whitworth.

Game 2 – Whitworth 4, Pomona-Pitzer 2
Julia Dillon and Haley Montoya hit home runs in support of Lyman's complete-game effort in the Pirates' first win of the season. 

Whitworth started early as Dillon, the game's third batter, hit a two-run shot in the top of the first to drive in Montoya.  Kelly Hruza drew a bases-loaded walk later in the first to score Taylor Hofheins.

The Sagehens got two runs back in the bottom of the second on another two-run double from Marguia.

Montoya's solo shot in the fourth gave the Bucs a needed insurance run. 

Lyman (1-0) scattered ten hits but got five key strikeouts.  She left the bases loaded in the first and P-P had two runners on base when she ended the rally in the second. 

Erika Rivera (0-1) took the loss after allowing three runs in 1.1 innings.  Nyla Springer went the rest of the way, giving up only one run on four hits.

Dillon went 3-4 with two RBIs and a run scored to lead Whitworth's offense.
