Lopez grand slam, home runs by Fifield, Wolsky highlight Sunday victory
Grand Canyon improved to 16-4 on the season after a 5-0 weekend against Montana, Pacific, New Mexico and Toledo (twice), with a 13-6 Sunday showdown against the Rockets.
GCU graduate designated player Ramsay Lopez hit her first career grand slam, in addition to a sacrifice fly, to lead the Lopes with five RBIs at GCU Softball Stadium, Lopes freshman pinch hitter Haley Wolsky smashed a three-run home run for her first career hit, and graduate third baseman Kristin Fifield notched her fourth home run of the season.
Leading 5-0 at the end of three innings on Lopez RBIs alone, Toledo managed one run in the top of the fourth. GCU answered with its third eight-run inning of the weekend, and second against Toledo after a 15-7 mercy-rule win on Friday.
Wolsky entered as a pinch runner after freshman catcher Tinley Lucas drew a lead-off walk, advanced to third on a single through the right side by freshman Mackenzie Nolan and scored the Lopes' sixth run on a wild pitch. With Nolan on third, senior shortstop Katelyn Dunckel boarded the bases on a fielder's choice to send Nolan home, and ultimately came across the plate on a single down the right-field line by graduate first baseman Ashley Trierweiler for an 8-1 lead.
A Toledo pitching change didn't rock the Lopes one bit, as Fifield, GCU's career home run leader, homered well over the center-field net to clear the bases for two more runs. The Rockets then walked Lopez and junior pinch hitter Alexis Soto to set Wolsky up for a three-run dinger to left center and notch the first home run of her career.
Seemingly on their way to another five-inning run rule with a 13-1 lead, the Lopes allowed Toledo five runs in the top of the fifth to take the game to an eventual seven innings, where they held off the Rockets for the 13-6 win.
GCU now prepares for the Louisville Slugger Invitational on March 8-10. In its first road trip of the season, the Lopes will face San Diego State (9-10), Princeton (5-4), Yale (1-7), North Dakota (5-16) and host Long Beach State (3-17).
