ORANGE CITY, Iowa\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Jamestown softball team had Saturday\u2019s doubleheader moved from Trapper Field to Orange City due to the weather forecast in the Jamestown area. The Jimmies lost 7-1 in the opener but rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh as game two ended in a 9-9 tie due to deteriorating field conditions.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (21-22-1 overall, 8-11-1 GPAC) remains in the hunt for a spot in the conference postseason tournament.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies host Hastings (Neb.) Monday at Trapper Field, and a sweep of the Broncos would put the Jimmies in the tournament. However, the Jimmies could possibly know Sunday if they are in, depending on the outcomes of the Briar Cliff (Iowa) at Mount Marty (S.D.) and Doane (Neb.) at College of Saint Mary (Neb.) doubleheaders on Sunday.<\/p>\n

NWC scored six unanswered runs in Saturday\u2019s 7-1 victory, allowing the Jimmies just a single second-inning run. With two outs,\u00a0Katie Merchant<\/a>\u00a0(JR\/South Haven, Minn.) singled to right, and\u00a0Santina Zito<\/a>\u00a0(JR\/Boise, Idaho) doubled to left to score Merchant and tie the game. Two runs by the Raiders in the third, sixth, and seventh put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n

Zito was 2-for-3 while\u00a0LaLa Romero<\/a>\u00a0(FR\/Surprise, Ariz.) and\u00a0Gentrey Turin<\/a>\u00a0(SO\/Sandy, Ore.) also had hits.<\/p>\n

Jamestown trailed 6-0 heading into the bottom of the third in game two, but cut the lead in half with a three-run inning.\u00a0Santina Zito<\/a>\u00a0grounded out to first, which allowed\u00a0LaLa Romero<\/a>\u00a0to score, then with\u00a0Megan Neiles<\/a>\u00a0(SO\/Winnipeg, MB) and second and\u00a0Gentrey Turin<\/a>\u00a0at third,\u00a0Gracie Fisher<\/a>\u00a0(SO\/Bemidji, Minn.) doubled to make it 6-3.<\/p>\n

Katie Reisdorfer<\/a>\u00a0(SR\/Fresno, Calif.) homered to lead off the bottom of the fourth and Neiles did the same to start the fifth as the Jimmies got within a run at 6-5.<\/p>\n

In the seventh, NWC scored three times to push their lead to 9-5. UJ rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh as\u00a0Katie Merchant<\/a>\u00a0doubled home\u00a0Skylar Thorpe<\/a>\u00a0(FR\/Petaluma, Calif.),\u00a0Lauren Diemert<\/a>\u00a0(SO\/West Fargo, N.D.) singled in\u00a0Steph Cota<\/a>\u00a0(JR\/Tucson, Ariz.) and Merchant, and Turin\u2019s single plated Diemert to make it 9-9.<\/p>\n

Jamestown ended with 16 hits. Romero and Merchant each had three hits while Turin, Neiles, Fisher, and Diemert all finished with two hits each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
