Softball splits doubleheader on the road

Biola softball played their second doubleheader against Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, California on Friday afternoon. The Eagles split the doubleheader, losing the first 6-3, and winning the second 4-0.

In the first game, freshman outfielder Madison Blossey hit a triple and put the Eagles up two runs in the second inning. The game remained quiet for the next several innings with Biola in the lead. In the sixth inning, freshman outfielder Jennifer Morinishi batted in a run after senior infielder Missy Poti’s single. But it was not enough as the Argonauts scored six runs to take the win 6-3.

In the second game of the day, sophomore middle infielder Kylie Velasco hit a single and stole a base before scoring, thanks to a double from senior shortstop Andi Hormel. This match followed a similar pattern as the last with both teams going scoreless for multiple innings. The Eagles finally encountered a breakthrough in the fifth inning as the Argonauts walked Hormel who then advanced two bases after two consecutive wild pitches, putting her in scoring position. A sacrifice fly from senior center fielder Areana Ramos brought in a second run for Biola. The Argonauts pitcher threw a third wild pitch which put two Eagles in scoring position, which were then batted in by freshman first base and outfielder Caitlin Fowble.

Sophomore pitcher Paige Austin rounded out the game with several strikeouts and lead Biola to a decisive 4-0 win.

The Eagles (PacWest 18-8, Overall 23-13) will be back out on Eagles diamond for senior night on April 25th to take on Concordia University.

Ashley is a sophomore broadcast journalism major and Spanish minor who dreams of working for ESPN. She loves the Seattle Seahawks, watching “Friends” and telling stories. Hi there! My name is Ashley Grams and I grew up in a small town north of Seattle –– it is so far north that many people resort to saying we live in Canada. Every weekend I watched sports with my dad, especially the Seattle Seahawks. Thursday, Sunday or Monday night, it didn't matter when they were on, my dad and I were glued to the TV. My love of sports started at a young age and translated into my teen years as I found myself following in the footsteps of Erin Andrews and other broadcasters. Sports journalism became my dream and I moved to Biola University, near Los Angeles, to pursue it. As a sophomore broadcast journalism major and Spanish minor, I am excited to continue writing for the Chimes as a sports staff writer. I enjoy the challenge of communicating effectively with a joyful heart, not to mention watching tons of games on campus! Outside of the Chimes you might find me playing intramural sports, watching “Friends” or eating gluten-free food.
