Cyclones Wrap Felsberg Invitational Play
02.09.2025 | Softball
MIAMI, Fla. – Iowa State (1-4) wrapped up the Felsberg Invitational on Sunday morning, falling to Indiana (4-1) by a score of 7-5. Â
Iowa State had one of its best offensive performances of the weekend, tallying five runs on nine hits – three of which were extra-base knocks. Three Cyclones – Serenitit Trice, Reagan Bartholomew and Jessie Clemons – had multi-hit performances, while Bartholomew led all players with three RBI.
The Cyclones limited errors which plagued them earlier in the weekend and trimmed down on their runners left on base but couldn't overcome Indiana's late pitching swap to Jenae Berry who limited ISU to just two hits in her 3.2 innings to close the game.
Four pitchers saw the circle for ISU, with sophomore Aziza Rodriguez getting the start in her first taste of action in 2025. Lauren Schurman, Jaiden Ralston and Sami Potvin all saw action, as Ralston was tied for a game-high five strikeouts.
Indiana had seven players account for nine hits and had four extra-base hits. Starting pitcher Brianna Copeland threw 3.1 innings of work, fanning five but allowing five runs on seven hits. The aforementioned Berry would hurl the final 3.1 and hold ISU scoreless.
How it Happened
Iowa State got the scoring started for the fifth game in a row, plating one in the top of the first. Back-to-back singles from Agelina Allen and Sereniti Trice would put runners on the corners for Reagan Bartholomew. Bartholomew then promptly blasted a single to right center, plating Trice and putting the Cyclones up.
Indiana scored a run of its own in the first, as a single was eventually moved to third off a stolen base and a flyout. A two-out single would plate the run and tie things up at one-all.
The second inning was big for both sides, as each team scored three in the frame. With runners on the corners and two outs, Iowa State attempted to steal second. Indiana attempted to pick off Trice who was between bases, but while focused on her, Isabelle Nosan stole home and put the Cyclones up by one. Following an Allen walk, Bartholomew again delivered, driving in both Trice and Allen with a double to left center to notch her third RBI of the day.
Indiana again matched ISU's run production, plating its own trio of runs in the bottom of the frame. An RBI triple and a two-run blast were all the Hoosiers needed, tying things up at four.
After holding ISU scoreless in the top of the third, IU took the lead in the bottom half, doubling in a runner from second to take a 5-4 lead.
The Cyclones would knot things up again in the fifth, as a Hayleigh Oliver single would eventually move to third off a pair of wild pitches. Trice then recorded her first collegiate extra-base hit, doubling down the left line and scoring Oliver to put the teams in a 5-5 stalemate.
Both sides were locked down in the fifth, as Jaiden Ralston fanned a pair, running her tally on the day to four before her fifth punchout in the sixth.
ISU was held off the scoreboard in the sixth, while IU brought a pair in off a 2RBI triple to take a 7-5 lead. Despite getting a base runner on in the seventh, ISU couldn't produce, eventually falling to the Hoosiers, 7-5.
