By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Jenny Weis' double in the fifth inning plated two insurance runs as the Northern Kentucky University softball team secured a 4-1 victory over Southern Indiana in the second game of a twinbill Friday. After the Eagles opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, Shatona Campbell's RBI double drove in Sydney Doyle in the third to tie the game. Campbell later scored in the inning on a fielding error, one of five Southern Indiana misplays on the game, to give the Norse the lead. NKU sophomore Candace White (10-5) recorded four strikeouts and scattered seven hits in the victory. In the first game, Lisa Anderson's home run in the second inning was enough to beat the NKU as Southern Indiana took a 1-0 decision. Amanda Smith (8-10) gave up six hits in the loss for NKU, striking out two along the way. The Norse collected five hits but were unable to put a run across against USI's Amy Harrison (9-5). The split keeps Northern Kentucky at .500 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. The Norse moved to 20-16 overall. The Norse travel to Edwardsville, Ill., to take on No. 13 Southern Illinois at Edwardsville in a conference doubleheader Saturday afternoon. |
