Cyclones Fall To UMass In Extra Innings
03.12.2017 | Softball
DAVIS, Calif. – Iowa State (10-13) dropped an extra-inning heart-breaker to UMass (6-14) by a score of 6-4 on Sunday at the Aggie Invitational. Junior Kaila Konz collected a clutch, two-out RBI triple in the bottom of the seventh to extend the game, but the Minutewomen responded with three runs in the eighth to pull away.
UMass 6, Iowa State 4
Kelsey McFarland provided the Cyclones with an offensive boost in the early going, smashing her second home run of the season to right field in the bottom of the first inning. The dinger was Iowa State's lone run of the first five innings, and would prove critical in the back-and-forth dual.
UMass responded in the top of the second inning, notching a pair of doubles to knot the game at 1-1. Nicole Imhoff collected the RBI on a shot down the right field line that ended up deep in the corner. Following two scoreless innings, the Minutewomen broke through for a pair of runs in the top of the fifth frame. An RBI triple from Candace Denis gave UMass their first lead, followed by a sacrifice fly to extend the lead to 3-1.
The Cyclones threatened to even things up in the home half of the sixth inning on a rally started by McFarland. The junior singled and stole second to set things up for Talyn Lewis, who notched an RBI single and advanced to second to put the tying run in scoring position. However, UMass got out of the inning still clinging to a 3-2 lead.
A day after their four-run rally to defeat Seton Hall, the Cyclones came up with more late-game fireworks in the seventh inning. Following a walk for Jackie Chairez, junior Kaila Konz ripped a two-out RBI triple to left, knotting the score at 3-3. Konz would be left stranded on third as the game went to extra innings.
UMass found an answer in the top of the eighth, putting up three runs while playing with the international tie-breaker. Sophomore Savannah Sanders entered in relief midway through the inning, ending the frame with a strikeout.
The Cyclone rally would come up short in the home half of the eighth despite a Lewis RBI to score McFarland, as Iowa State eventually fell 6-4.
