Colorado State left 14 runners on base in the loss against South Dakota State.
GREELEY, Colo. – The Colorado State softball team did great getting runners on base, but couldn't find the timely hit to push many of those runners across home as the Rams left 14 runners on base in a 7-1 loss to South Dakota State on Sunday afternoon.
Â
South Dakota State scored the first runs of the game in the bottom of the first frame, putting up three runs on five hits to lead early. The Jackrabbits added to their lead in the second frame after a grand slam brought their lead to 7-0. Colorado State avoided the shutout in the top of the fourth after a two-out single by Ashley Michelena scored a run. The Rams loaded the bases in the first, fourth and fifth innings and had runners in scoring positions in two other innings.
Â
STAT OF THE GAME
Colorado State stranded 14 runners on base.
Â
NOTES
- Ashley Michelena led the Rams with three hits in four at-bats, included the lone RBI
- The Rams drew seven walks in the loss, three coming from Jalyn McGuffin
- Michelena recorded a pair of doubles in her three hits as well as Peyton Allen registered an extra base hit
- Jessica Jarecki was given the loss after 2 1/3 innings allowing nine hits and seven earned runs, while striking out four batters
- Danielle Serna came in on relief, throwing the last 3 2/3 frames, not allowing a hit and striking out one
Â
UP NEXT
Colorado State will return to Ram Field and host Northern Colorado for a doubleheader on Saturday, March 13 starting at noon.
