ST. GEORGE, Utah - Snow in Cedar City, Utah, forced Southern Utah officials to move Friday's Summit League opener to Kari Brooks field on the campus of Dixie State College in St. George, Utah, where the Jackrabbit softball team beat Southern Utah 10-0 in five innings in the opener before falling 6-4 in 10 innings in the nightcap.
The Jacks end the day 6-15 overall and 1-1 in Summit League play. SUU ends the day with a 4-15 overall record and the same 1-1 league record.
SDSU put Game 1 away early with six runs in the first inning, including RBI hits by Dani Broshar, Morgan McCabe, Krista Honken and Emily Heairet.
The Jacks scored a single run in the third inning on a Kelsey Waltz RBI single to go up 7-0 and then added three more runs on a bases clearing double by Heairet in the fourth to put the game out of reach.
Kori Seidlitz pitched all five innings for the Jackrabbits for her second-career shutout. She scattered three hits and gave up three walks, but tied a career-high with nine strikeouts in the win, which improves her record to 5-8 on the season.
SDSU scored first again in Game 2, going up 1-0 in the second on a Pam Nicholson single that scored Kelsey Lunn.
The T-birds scored two in the third to take a short-lived lead, as the Jacks answered with a two of their own in the top of the fourth on a Nicholson two run homerun, the first bomb of her career, which put the Jacks up 3-2.
The Jacks took that lead into the bottom of the seventh, but Southern Utah manufactured the tying run and forced extra innings.
After two scoreless extra innings, SDSU finally broke through with a run in the top of the 10th. With runners on first and second with one out, Devon Reick belted a double that scored Seidlitz that put the Jacks up 4-3.
SUU opened its half of the 10th with a pair of singles, which set the stage for Aly Daniels, who delivered with a walk-off three run blast off Seidlitz, who came on in relief in the ninth inning.
Nicholson gave up three runs on seven hits over the first eight innings with a pair of walks and six strikeouts and helped her cause with a 2-for-3 day at the plate with a homerun and three RBI. Reick finished the game 3-for-6 out of the leadoff spot with a double and an RBI.
The Jacks and T-birds meet for the rubber game on Saturday, again in St. George, with the first pitch scheduled for 12 p.m. MT.
