No. 11 Pitt State Run Rules Lopers In Sweep

PITTSBURG - The 11th ranked Pittsburg State University softball team got back to winning ways with run rule victories over Nebraska-Kearney (12-4, 10-2) on Friday (Mar. 29) at the PSU Softball Complex.

In game one a 12-4 five inning run rule victory, the Gorillas (34-4, 8-2 MIAA) were led by Maddie Fernandez (San Antonio, Texas) going 2-of-2 for 4 RBI, two runs scored and her eighth home run of the season. Paxtyn Hayes (Greenwood, Ark.) went 1-of-2 with three RBI and two runs scored, Hannah Burnett (Independence, Kan.) went 2-of-2 with three runs scored and her fourth home run of the season as Heather Arnett (Pittsburg, Kan.) went 3-of-4 with three runs scored. Ava Laurent (Grand Island, Neb.) picked up her 11th win of the season with seven strikeouts in five innings limiting the Lopers (13-18, 1-7 MIAA) to no hits after the first inning.

Game two was a 10-2 six inning run rule win with Hayes leading the charge on offense going 3-of-4 with three RBI and one run scored. Emily Ades (Boone, Iowa) and Amaya Snyder (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) finished with two RBI each as Snyder hit her first home run of the season. Kiana Pogroszewski (Ephraim, Utah) picked up her 10th win of the season with three strikeouts in six innings of work.

Up next for Pittsburg State is the Fort Hays State University Tigers on Saturday (Mar. 30) from the PSU Softball Complex for a conference doubleheader beginning at approximately 1:00 p.m. (CT).

Notes:
Heather Arnett is tied for fifth in program single-season history for runs scored with Jerri Kious (1996) having 53 runs scored so far this season. 

Arnett with her 39 stolen bases in 38 games on the season is responsible for the most stolen bases from anyone in the MIAA since the 2016 season when Alli Jo Rogers (UCM) had 39 in 55 games and Rebecca Wyatt (UNK) had 40 in 46 games to finish the season.

Hannah Burnett is tied for fourth in Pitt State single-season history for stolen bases with Heather Arnett's 2023 tally of 26.

Paxtyn Hayes is tied for second in Pitt State history with Tiffany Brown (2011-14) for career RBI at 172,  the record is currently being held by Nicole Nease (2014-17) with 178 RBI.

Ava Laurent passed Halle Brin (2019) and Hannah Martin (2023) for ninth in Pitt State single-season history for strikeouts with 141 following her performance Friday. Laurent is fourth all-time by a freshman pitcher in program history for strikeouts trailing Sheila Miller's 175 in 1981, Kyndel Shelburn's 188 in 2013 and Emmie Robertson's 238 in 2015.
