Softball Falls to Adrian in Opening Day of Pioneer Classic

The Big Blue softball team traveled to Elizabethtown, Ky. on Friday, March 13 for the Pioneer Classic hosted by Transylvania. In their opening matchup, they met Adrian College, falling 8-16. 

The Big Blue got on the board first with Summer Wynn singling to score Abby Willis. Kailyn Coates plated Wynn later in the first with a sacrifice fly to put Millikin up 2-0.

Adrian answered with a solo homer by Karsyn Malinich in the first, then an RBI single by Ava Wolfe in the second knotted the score at two apiece. 

Wynn's homerun in the third inning scored Willis to regain a two-run advantage. Adrian plated a run of their own in the third, then a Coates double scored Willis and Charley Condill, then a Bella Palermo double scored Coates. 

Adrian once again had a response, scoring two runs on a Meghan Kowalyk single, then another run on a Hanna Walker single. A Peyton Russell single plated three to give Adrian a two-run advantage at 7-9. They tacked on five more in the fifth to take a 7-14 lead. 

Ava Zukowski's single in the sixth plated Wynn to cut the deficit to 8-14, but Adrian added two more runs in the bottom of the inning to end the game. 

In the game, Willis and Wynn each went 3-for-4 from the plate. 

Alyssa Dralle took the loss in the circle, striking out two.

The Big Blue will meet the host Pioneers of Transylvania University on Saturday, March 14 at 11:00 AM.
