Hindle Homers Twice in Macs' Doubleheader With Alvernia

IMMACULATA, Pa. - Keani Hindle launched a pair of home runs in the Immaculata University softball team's home-opening doubleheader Thursday afternoon against Alvernia, as the Macs took the first game 9-5 before the nightcap ended in a 3-3 tie.

Emma Bischoff turned in a complete-game effort in the circle for the Macs in game two, limiting the Golden Wolves to three runs on six hits while striking out three.

IMMACULATA 9, ALVERNIA 5
HOW IT HAPPENED
-Alvernia was first on the board in Thursday's opener via a one-out RBI double, but the Macs answered back in a big way in the home half of the frame with a six-spot to take their first lead of the day. Katy Newton drew a one-out walk and Ashley Rey singled to left before Keani Hindle reached on an error to load the bases with one out. Emily Mesey tied the game with an RBI groundout before a failed pickoff play plated Rey with the second run of the frame. Cat Knoll then ripped a base hit back through the middle to score a pair before Abby Carter capped off the inning with a two-run single to center.
-The Macs were held scoreless over the next four frames, allowing the Golden Wolves to get within one by posting a four-run third.
-The Macs then turned to Sarah Guido in relief who was very efficient to hold Alvernia to two hits over four scoreless innings as IU clung to a one-run lead in the late innings.
-Carter lined a one-out double down the left field line to start the home half of the sixth, and Newton reached on an infield single and stole second to put two in scoring position for Hindle. The sophomore shortstop delivered in a big way, lofting a deep drive to left over the fence for a three-run home run - her second of the season - to extend the Might Mac lead to four.

IMMACULATA 3, ALVERNIA 3
HOW IT HAPPENED
-The Golden Wolves opened the scoring again in Thursday's nightcap with two runs in the top of the first. The Macs were quick to answer yet again in the home half with a pair of runs to draw even at two. Rey drove a one-out triple off the fence in right to score Newton before Hindle drove in Rey with a single through the left side.
-Bischoff kept the Alvernia off-balance from that point on, posting 1-2-3 innings in the second, fourth and fifth to keep the two sides knotted at two apiece. The sophomore hurler also stranded two in scoring position in the third after issuing a leadoff walk.
-Hindle led off the bottom of the fourth with a lined shot over the fence in left-center to put the Macs ahead 3-2, but Alvernia was able to plate the tying run in the top of the seventh on an infield miscue.
-The Macs were able to get the winning run to second in bottom of the seventh when Sydney Sturgill lined a two-strike single to right to move Hindle up to second, but Alvernia escaped the jam on a flyout and the game as called due to darkness.

IU LEADERS AT THE PLATE
-Rey: 2-3, 3B, RBI
-Hindle: 2-4, HR (3), 2 RBI
