Rain Suspends Play at Duke Invitational
March 01, 2019 | Softball

DURHAM, N.C. โย Heading into the bottom of the fifth with a 3-2 lead over Ohio, the clouds opened up at the Duke Softball Stadium with the rain suspending action for the remainder of the day.
ย
The Bulldogs will face Kansas at 9 a.m. CT on Saturday, March 2 and then take on Duke at 12 p.m. CT. MSU and Ohio will pick up their suspended game at 6 p.m. CT.
ย
Before play against the Bobcats was suspended, MSU held a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth.
ย
After a scoreless first inning, the Bulldogs broke through in the top of the second. Loading the bases with three walks, sophomore Grace Dabbs knocked a two-out single to right field to score sophomore Carter Spexarth and give MSU a 1-0 lead.
ย
The Bobcats answered in the bottom of the second. After leading off the inning with a Charlee Pond double, a single through the left side moved Pond to third base as she scored off a wild pitch to tie the game up.
ย
Ohio took its first lead of the game in the third. The Bobcats led off the inning with a Katie Yun double. A sacrifice bunt and a groundout to short brought home the run to give Ohio a 2-1 lead.
ย
MSU answered in the fourth getting two runners into scoring position with a single to left from redshirt sophomore Montana Davidson and a double to center from redshirt freshman Kinsey Goelz. Senior Emily Heimberger delivered the big hit in the fourth with a bases-clearing double to left center to give State a 3-2 lead.
ย
Play will resume with the top of the Bobcat order at the plate with no outs in the bottom of the fifth.
