| Pineville, Louisiana
- Trinity and Chapman University went toe-to-toe for 13 scoreless
innings before Chapman scored a run in the 14th to earn a 1-0 win at the
NCAA West Regional Championships Tournament on Thursday afternoon at
Louisiana College. Trinity (25-11) had just
seven hits through 14 innings, while Chapman managed 10 hits overall.
The game was an outstanding pitcher's duel as Trinity's Erin Mulvey and
Chapman's Maggie Wilder held each opposing offense to just one total
run.
Mulvey (15-5) took the loss, striking out four
batters and walking just two. Wilder (15-4) struck out 12 for
Chapman to earn the victory and advance to a meeting with top seed
Louisiana College this evening.
Lee Smith led Trinity with two hits in six
at-bats, and all seven Tiger hits were for singles.
Chapman's Erin Dudzinski drove in the game's only
run with a 14th-inning RBI double, scoring SheaLynn Slover from second
base.
Trinity will face the loser of the Linfield
College/Hardin-Simmons University game that will be played later this
afternoon. That game, which will be an elimination game, will be
at noon tomorrow. |
