Box Score

LAWRENCE, Kan. — The South Dakota State University softball team wrapped up its Spring Break trip Saturday morning with a 4-1 loss to Northern Iowa in action at the Rock Chalk Challenge.

The Jackrabbits fell to 13-4 on the season, while UNI improved to 8-10.

For the second day in a row, SDSU grabbed an early 1-0 lead two batters into the game. After Peyton Daugherty singled to center field, Emma Osmundson continued her hot hitting with a double to center that scored Daugherty from first base.

The Jackrabbits would manage only three hits the rest of the way, including a single by Osmundson in the fifth inning that put runners at second and third with nobody out. However, an infield popout and line-drive double play ended the inning and the last best scoring chance for SDSU in the game.

UNI tied the game with an unearned run in the third inning and took the lead with two runs in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Daryn Lamprecht and a run-scoring single by Taylor Hogan. The Panthers tacked on a run in the sixth on an RBI double by Hannah Kelley.

Sammey Bunch was 3-for-4 to lead the Panthers' 11-hit attack.

Grace Glanzer suffered the loss for SDSU, falling to 5-2 on the season after walking two and striking out five in a complete-game effort.

Erica Oler earned the win in relief for UNI. She pitched the final 5 1/3 innings, allowing no runs on three hits with one strikeout.

UP NEXT
The Jackrabbits are scheduled to play March 19-20 at The Connie Claussen Classic in Omaha, Nebraska. SDSU will play Northern Colorado twice, starting with a 2 p.m. matchup Friday at Connie Claussen Field on the Omaha campus.
