Box Score 2 OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Junior Jasmyn Ogletree hit her fourth and fifth home runs of the season as the Stevenson softball team dropped a MAC Commonwealth doubleheader versus No. 8 Messiah on Senior Day Saturday afternoon at Weinberg-Fine Stadium.
It is the first time in the last six doubleheaders, the Mustangs (9-23, 2-14 MAC Commonwealth) have been swept after falling 10-4 and 4-1 to the defending conference champions and national runner-ups.
After being held without a hit through the first three innings of the opening game, the Falcons (33-6, 14-2 MAC Commonwealth) exploded for eight runs in the fourth inning, including six unearned. Messiah totaled six hits in the inning.
Ogletree put the hosts on the board with a solo shot to left field. Her first four home runs, all at home, have all been to left field. The Mustangs also added a run in the fifth inning on a RBI single by junior Tiffany McKee before freshman Haley Lennon drove in two runs in the sixth.
Both Ogletree and Lennon finished with a pair of hits in the game. Seven different Falcons recorded a hit, including three players with two hits.
A four-run third inning in game two was the difference for Messiah as Madelyn Yannetti through a no hitter through 6.2 innings. Ogletree broke up the no hitter with a solo blast to centerfield with two outs and a 2-1 count in the seventh inning.
Sophomore Erin Stephey was the only other player to reach on base with a leadoff walk in the first inning.
In pregame ceremonies, the Mustangs honored seniors Naomi Fields and Nicole Dell.
Stevenson concludes the 2017 season on Sunday, April 30 when the Mustangs travel to Catholic for a non-conference doubleheader beginning at 12:00 p.m.
