Iowa State Falls to UNI in Home Opener
04.06.2022 | Softball
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (19-17, 0-3 Big 12) fell, 12-4, in five innings against UNI (15-11, 6-1 MVS) on a windy Wednesday evening at the Cyclone Sports Complex.
The Panthers used the long ball to do most of their damage with five home runs in the game.
Carli Spelhaug (2-of-3, 3B) and Angelina Allen (2-of-3, 2B) each logged multi-hit performances in the loss while Alesia Ranches and Milaysia Ochoa each registered two RBIs.
Karlie Charles (7-4) was the pitcher of record for the Cyclones. Saya Swain struck out six in a three-inning relief outing.
UNI got off to a hot start with four runs in the opening frame, but Iowa State would get two back in the home half on a Ranches single and Ochoa groundout. The Cyclones missed an opportunity to add two more after stranding runners on second and third base in the inning.
UNI tacked on two more runs in the second and third innings to extend its lead to 8-2 before a solo home run in the fourth made it, 9-2.
Three Panther runs in the fifth pushed the score to a 10-run margin. Iowa State would plate two runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull back within 12-4, but Kaylee Pond was called out at home to end the game.
