Cyclones Close Out Tournament With 3-1 Win
03.02.2008 | Softball
TUCSON, Ariz. ? Alex Johnson drove in two runs and Sydni Jones hit her second home run in as many days to lead Iowa State to a 3-1 win over Illinois-Chicago on Sunday at the Hillenbrand Invitational. With the win, Iowa State improves to 14-3 on the season, just 10 wins shy of its total from a year ago, with 40 games remaining on its schedule.
Johnson put ISU on the board in the third inning, ripping a double to left center to score Courtney Wray and Carleigh Berry. Berry had reached on a bunt single and Wray had doubled earlier in the inning.
An inning later, Jones tagged her second career homer, a solo shot to left center, to make it 3-0 Cyclones.
Charissa Carlin (6-2) put in another solid performance, allowing just a single run on a sacrifice fly by Claire Donyanavard in the top of the fifth. Carlin gave up just five hits to pick up the complete-game win.
Sarah Clynes (1-7) took the loss for the Flames (3-11), giving up three runs on six hits.
Ariel Coburn and Michelle Dettmer also had hits in the game for the Cyclones, who went 3-2 in the tournament with their losses coming to No. 8 Arizona and 24th-ranked Virginia Tech.
Iowa State will be back in action Thursday when it travels to Kansas City, Mo., to face UMKC at noon before heading to Wichita State for the Shocker Invitational.
