Antelopes Pick Up Two Conference Wins Over Holy Names
4/11/2013 4:38:00 PM | Softball
Grand Canyon picked up a Pacific West Conference doubleheader sweep of Holy Names at Stapleton-Pierson Field Thursday.
The Antelopes (34-12, 17-5) won 9-1, in six innings, and 8-1 and are one-game behind first-place Hawai’i Hilo (33-15, 19-5).
“It’s always good to get two conference wins,” said coach Ann Pierson. “I’m pleased how we came out focused and aggressive at the plate. We did the little things, something we didn’t always do (at the Tournament of Champions last week in Turlock, Calif.). We moved runners and took extra bases.”
GCU combined for 31 hits in the two games. Kayla Henry was 4-for-4 in the opener and stole four bases, two in each game, giving her 23 on the season. She also hit her ninth triple of the season. Henry and Lauren Regester each had five-hit days. Henry scored five runs.
In game one, Stephanie Pesqueira had a no-hitter for four and one-third innings and improved to 16-7 on the season. Kiki Sepulveda had the game two win and is 12-2 overall.
“Both Kiki and Pesky threw well today,” added Pierson.
The Antelopes jumped out early in the opener, scoring two each in the first two innings. GCU had four hits in each frame and 19 for the contest. Nicole Newbury went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
GCU had 12 hits in game two, including two from pitcher Sepulveda. Claire Zampini went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored. She had four RBIs on the day.
Both pitchers took advantage of solid defense. The ‘Lopes had just one error for the day. Third baseman Stephanie Smith had six assists and a putout in game two. Sepulveda also helped her cause by turning two double plays on comebackers to the circle. Shortstop Kelsey Barak had four assists and four putouts in the game. She also had a pair of hits and two RBIs in the opener.
GCU welcomes Academy of Art on Senior Day Saturday for a noon doubleheader. The 'Lopes will honor lone senior Vanessa Ramirez prior to the first game.
