March 9, 2010 - Big Inning Key to
Baldwin Wallace Victory Over Flames
Baldwin Wallace
used a nine run third-inning rally to defeat the College of Saint Mary Flames,
10-2 on Tuesday in Tucson, Ariz.
The
Flames out hit Baldwin Wallace 6-5 for the game but three fielding errors and
five runners left on base were the Flames undoing.
The Yellow
Jackets quickly jumped on the Flames in the bottom of the first as they pushed
their first run across as the Baldwin Wallace leadoff hitter, Mallory Kobak,
singled off Flames starting pitcher, Chrissy Molacek. Kobak then stole second
and third before scoring on a passed ball. Molacek was able to recover to
retire the side of Yellow Jacket hitters in succession.
CSM threatened in the top of the second when Megan O'hara reached on a two base
error by the Baldwin Wallace right fielder with one out. After a Courtney
Barrier strike out, Melissa King singled, advancing O'Hara to third. King then
stole second putting two runners in scoring position with two outs for the
Flames. CSM was unable to capitalize as Jennifer Synowiecki struck out swinging
to end the threat.
The wheels then came off for the Flames as Baldwin Wallace rallied for nine
runs on four hits with CSM committing two errors during the third inning. The
Flames would respond with two runs on three hits in the top of the fourth but
the damage was done.
Molacek was tabbed with the loss in the circle for the Flames, throwing four
innings and giving up ten runs (six earned) on five hits. Mackenzie Rohrbacher
picked up the win for the Yellow Jackets. Rohrbacher went four complete innings
giving up just two runs (both earned) on four hits.
The Flames will return to action, weather permitting, on March 16 with a double
header against Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.

of the 2010 campaign.
CSM was able to
tie the Trojans with three runs in the bottom of the first, the game remained
scoreless until the two teams each notching a run. In the fifth inning the
Trojans sent nine batters to plate resulting in a 10-4 lead for Trinity. The
Flames would add two runs in the bottom of the sixth before Trinity would put
