TUCSON, Ariz. (uj.edu) — Runs came early and often for the No. 24 University of Jamestown softball team Thursday against Bethel College.

The Jimmies set a program record for runs in a game, defeating the Pilots 22-3 in five innings.

Lorigan Steuben (FR/Yacolt, Wash.) was 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three runs scored and three RBI to lead the UJ offense. Katie Reisdorfer (SO/Fresno, CA) rapped a pair of doubles among her three hits. Mariah Wick (SO/Jamestown, N.D.), Sydney Prussia (SO/Detroit Lakes, MN), Santina Zito (FR/Boise, Idaho), and Steph Cota (FR/Tucson, Ariz.) all had a pair of hits.

Jamestown pushed home six runs in the first and fifth innings, added three in the second and third, then scored four more in the fourth.

The last time the Jimmies tallied 20 runs in a game was on April 19, 2015, against Presentation (S.D.) College in a 20-1 victory. Jamestown had scored double digits just once in its first 14 games this season, but have accomplished the feat four times in their last six games in Arizona.

Katie Merchant (FR/South Haven, Minn.) (7-3) pitched two scoreless innings before yielding to Meghan Ramage (SR/Grand Forks, ND) for the final three frames.

UJ finished the sweep on Thursday with a 6-1 victory over Madonna (Mich.) University.

Katie Reisdorfer, Allie McCain (SR/Duvall, WA), Mariah Martinez (FR/Visalia, Calif.), and Morgan Geiszler (SO/Horace, ND) drove in runs as Jamestown erased a 1-0 deficit with a four-run fourth. The Jimmies added two more runs on a fielding error in the bottom of the sixth.

Kat Miska (SO/Pequot Lakes, MN) struck out six over seven innings to get the win. She scattered five hits and allowed just one run to improve her record to 6-2.

Martinez was 2-for-3 while McCain, Geiszler, Sydney Prussia, Meghan Ramage, Katie Reisdorfer, and Mariah Wick also had hits.

Jamestown (15-6) finishes its Tucson trip with a single game against Park (Mo.) University Friday morning at 10 a.m.
