Croxford Impresses as Softball Splits Doubleheader with Augustana Vikings

LEBANON, Tenn. - - The Cumberland Softball team split their non-conference doubleheader with the Augustana Vikings winning game one 4-3 and falling 4-1 in game two.

Ashley Evans kicked off the first game for the Phoenix with a double to the right center gap, advancing to third after a fielding error by the centerfielder. Hailey Donato slapped a single through the left side of the infield to give Cumberland an early lead.

Madison Croxford went through two and two thirds innings of no-hit softball before Augustana finally found their way past the junior. Aided by a Cumberland error, the Vikings pushed one past the Phoenix to even it up at 1-1 but it wouldn't stay that way for long.

In the bottom of the third the Phoenix rallied to put three runs on the board, courtesy of singles from Karley Daughrity and Anna Lay. First, Karsyn France singled and was pushed over to second by a Sara Brogdon walk and then Daughrity's shot would score France.

Azaria Jones grounded out to the pitcher but she was able to move everyone over, putting two runners in scoring position with two outs. Finally ending the inning, Anna Lay hit a shot down the left field line and scored both runners, but was gunned down as she tried to stretch her hit into a double.

Augustana added two runs in the top of the fifth to make it a one-run game but Madison Croxford was able to shut the doors on game one and get herself her fourth win of the season, striking out six in the process.

Game two was a slower burn for the Phoenix despite putting up a run in the bottom of the first inning. Recording three hits in the frame as a team, it was Sara Brogdon legging out an infield single who put up the first RBI of the game.

Pitching game two was Madison Lancaster and after two innings of solid pitching, the Vikings found their way past her. Augustana managed two RBI's from three hits and with the bases loaded, Lancaster forced a groundout to keep it at 2-1.

Carley Clinard came in the following inning and Augustana was able to push across two more runs in the following inning, though both runs wouldn't count against Clinard.

Cumberland's bats couldn't find their way past the Vikings second game pitcher, recording no more than one hit in an inning for the rest of the game. The Phoenix's best chance to push more runs across was in the bottom of the final inning, leaving two stranded in a strong rally effort.

The Phoenix will be back in action at home against Oakwood University next Tuesday in another non-conference doubleheader. Game one is scheduled for 1 PM.
