Softball Drops Two Games on Final Day of Charger Chillout

Jessica Wiley tosses a strong 3.2 innings of one-hit ball in relief versus Wayne State

DECATUR, Ala. (February 17, 2013) -- The Franklin Pierce University softball team concluded play in the UAH Charger Chillout on Sunday by dropping a pair of tough decisions, including a 5-0 setback to Wayne State in the first game and then falling 3-2 to Tiffin in the second contest. Franklin Pierce fell to 2-4 on the season as the Chillout was held at the Wilson Morgan Softball Complex in Decatur, Ala.

Wayne State scored three times in the first inning and plated two more in the second to put the game out of reach early. Lyndsay Butler was the catalyst for Wayne State as she smacked an RBI double in the first and finished the game by going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. She wasn't done there as Butler also took to the pitching circle and hurled a complete-game, one-hitter with 12 strikeouts and zero walks to earn the win to go to 1-2 on the season.

Franklin Pierce rookie shortstop Courtney Caputo (Stony Brook, N.Y.) had the Ravens' lone hit in the game. Classmate Tricia Hansen (Mansfield, Mass.) started in the circle for Franklin Pierce and was tagged with the loss to fall to 0-2 after she yielded five runs (only three earned) on eight hits over 2.1 innings of work.

Senior pitcher Jessica Wiley (Cape Vincent, N.Y.) came on in relief and pitched a strong final 3.2 innings by limiting Wayne State to just one hit, while posting a strikeout and a walk.

Like they had done the previous two days, the Ravens shook off a game one loss and put in a solid effort in the second game. However, Franklin Pierce could not pull out the win this time and suffered the one-run loss to Tiffin.

Franklin Pierce returns to action on March 9 when the Ravens travel to New York to take on Queens College in a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m.
