Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 (Liberty, Mo.) – The Missouri S&T Lady Miner softball squad dropped a pair of one-run decisions to William Jewell 1-0 and 3-2 on Saturday afternoon in Liberty, Mo. The Lady Miners finish the 2014 season with a record of 14-33 overall, 9-25 in the GLVC.

The opener was scoreless through the first four innings neither side could mount much offense against the opposing pitchers. S&T left six runners on base in those innings while the Cardinals (24-21, 21-15 GLVC) left five stranded.

William Jewell broke the deadlock in the fifth scoring on a bases loaded walk with two outs to Kelsey Morgan for the only run of the contest. The Lady Miners had the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the seventh, but couldn't get a two out hit to extend the game.

S&T had five hits in the contest led by Kelsi O'Neill (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs) with two while Andi Davis (Blue Springs, Mo./Archbishop O'Hara ), Kyra Slemp (Roeland Park, Kan./Shawnee Mission East) and Adrienne Kruse (Edwardsville, Ill./Edwardsville) had a hit each. Becca Strope (Glen Carbon, Ill./Edwardsville) took the loss throwing a complete game five-hitter. She allowed the one run while striking out six, but ended up walking six batters as well.

William Jewell struck first again in the nightcap with a run in the third inning. With one out Ashley Barrett singled, stole second and went to third on a single by Rachel Potvin. Rachel Hayden brought Barrett home with a groundout to Davis.

The Lady Miners came right back in the fourth to tie the game. Shelby Michaelis (Bettendorf, Iowa/Bettendorf) reached on an error to start the inning and then came around to score on Savannah Fedorchak (Oakville, Mo./Oakville)'s two-out double. It remained that way until the sixth. Michaelis led off the inning with a hit and then Cailey Baker (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield) reached on an error to start the frame. Kruse moved the runners over with a sacrifice bunt and then Fedorchak drove in Michaelis with a sacrifice fly to center.

The Cardinals retook the lead in the home half of the inning. Hayden led off with an infield single and went to second on a throwing error by Baker. Courtney Johnson came into run for Hayden and scored on Faith Song's double. Song eventually came around to score on a wild pitch to make it 3-2.

Just like in the first game S&T threatened in the seventh getting the tying and go-ahead runs on base with back-to-back one out singles from Cassie Rizzo (Webster Groves, Mo./Webster Groves) and Davis, but were unable to get them as a line out and a pop-up ended the game.

The Lady Miners finished the nightcap with seven hits and were led once again by O'Neill with two. Davis, Michaelis, Baker, Fedorchak and Rizzo had a hit each. Amber Duncan (Centralia, Mo./Centralia) was the tough luck loser allowing three runs, two earned, on eight hits in six innings of work. She struck out four and didn't walk a batter.
