UMSL split the first two games of a weekend series against Drury at Mark Worley Field at Meador Park. The Tritons lost 10-4 in Saturday evening’s opener, giving up four runs in the fourth and six in the fifth. Cooper Blythe had three of UMSL’s nine hits and also scored a run in the loss. The Tritons bounced back on Sunday behind a strong start from Bryce Nicolay. He threw a complete game, allowing two runs, one earned, on eight hits and striking out seven in UMSL’s 4-2 victory. Mitch Bonczkowski, Cade Grevengoed and Luke Saxton each drove in a run in the win, which snapped the Tritons’ eight-game losing streak. UMSL will wrap up its four-game series against Drury with a doubleheader today and will take on Missouri Western on Tuesday in St. Joseph, Missouri. Coach Scott Eul‘s team will then return home for a four-game Alumni Weekend series against Rockhurst beginning Friday afternoon at the UMSL Baseball Field.
Softball
The Tritons went 1-3 over the weekend while playing doubleheaders against Lewis and Indianapolis on the road. UMSL’s lone victory was a 5-1 win in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Greyhounds. Hannah Tomlianovich hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning to lift the Tritons to a 2-1 lead, and they tacked on a run in the sixth and two more in the seventh. May Pasqualini hit a two-run bases-loaded double that scored Lexi Sherrick and Megan Russell to cap the scoring. Ashley Ware got the win in relief, holding UIndy scorless for five innings while pitching around three hits and four walks. The victory snapped an eight game losing streak. That streak included getting swept in Saturday’s doubleheader against Lewis by scores of 3-0 and 7-6. UMSL had a 6-3 lead heading into the bottom half of the fourth in the second game, but the Flyers plated four runs to gain the upper hand. Simia Spahiev homered and drove in four runs in the loss, and Tomlianovich had a two-run double. The Tritons (12-21) dropped the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader 4-2 as the Greyhounds tagged starter Ashley Borowitz for three runs in the fifth inning.
