Bulls Fall in Game One to Central Michigan on Friday
4/12/2024 6:20:00β―PM | Softball
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. β A six-run first inning for the Central Michigan Chippewas (8-23, 5-5 MAC) was enough to get by the Buffalo Bulls softball team (12-21, 4-8 MAC) in game one of the weekend series on Friday. The Chippewas won by a final score of 9-0 after six innings.
Β
After the Bulls went down in order in the first inning, the Chippewas offense exploded in the bottom half. With two outs and two runners in scoring position, a single to left drove in both runners. The Chippewas loaded the bases after a hit by pitch and walk. They added another pair of runs off an error to lead, 4-0. Another fielding error cost the Bulls as the Chippewas extended their lead to 6-0.
Β
Mia Mitchell gave the Bulls their first hit of the afternoon with a single through the left side. Abbey Nagel then reached on a fielder's choice as Mitchell got out at second. Central Michigan got out of the inning with a 4-3 double play.
Β
A lead off walk for the Chippewas cost the Bulls another run as a double to right center scored the run. After three innings, the Bulls trailed, 7-0.
Β
Sara Kelly gave Buffalo some life in the fifth inning after a double to right but didn't come around to score.
Β
The Chippewas ended the game in the sixth inning after a two-run double to right center ended the game in a mercy.
Β
The Bulls and Chippewas will be back in #MACtion tomorrow at 1 p.m. for a doubleheader.
