Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 (St. Louis, Mo.) - The Missouri S&T Lady Miners had a couple of opportunities but couldn't come through with a timely hit in a 2-1 loss in the first game of a doubleheader at Missouri-St. Louis on Sunday afternoon. In game two S&T's defense committed five errors resulting in five unearned runs as it fell 9-2.

UMSL (18-18, 7-11 GLVC) scored first in the bottom of the first courtesy of a one out solo home run of the bat of Katie Wood. It remained 1-0 until the top of the third. Maggie Schroeder (Bonner Springs, Kan./Basehor-Linwood) led off with a single to the second baseman. She moved to second on Jackie Lybarger (Overland Park, Kan./Blue Valley West)'s ground out to short and to third on a passed ball. Lauren Briggs (LaMonte, Mo./Knob Noster) tied the game with a double to left center. Shelby Michaelis (Bettendorf, Iowa/Bettendorf) had a chance to give S&T (10-25, 7-13 GLVC) the lead but grounded out to second to end the inning.

The Lady Miners threatened again in the sixth getting back-to-back bunt singles from Cassie Rizzo (Webster Groves, Mo./Webster Groves) and Briggs to start the frame. Michaelis moved the runners over with a sacrifice to third. Kaylea Smith (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs) reached a fielder's choice back to the pitcher as Rizzo was thrown out at the plate. Rachel Glenn (Chicago, Ill./Marion Catholic) had another chance but grounded out to second to end the inning.

The Tritons scored the winning run in the bottom of the sixth. Erin Driskell led off with a single to left. She moved to second on a sacrifice by Driskell and to third on a single by Brianna Butler. Leslie Davis drove in the go ahead run on a fielder's choice back to Taylor Keal (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs South). Keal fired to second to retire Butler but the relay throw to first was not in time to complete the inning ending double play.

S&T threatened in the seventh getting a two out single from Schroeder but Lybarger fouled out down the right field line to end the game.

Keal went the distance allowing both runs on six hits. Briggs and Schroeder combined for four of the six hits.

In the second game on Sunday the Lady Miners jumped on top with a run in the second inning with a two out single off the bat of Lybarger which scored Schroeder from second. The Tritons responded with two in the bottom of the second to take the 2-1 advantage.
