Ramblers Drop Game Three To Murray State At Racer Classic

Loyola Softball los 2-3 to Murray State.

MURRAY, Ky. (March 11, 2022) – The Racer Classic hosted by Murray State University ended today for the Loyola University Chicago softball team as the Ramblers faced the Racers in one game. Even though the game was close between these two teams, it was Murray State who came out on top as Loyola lost 2-3. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The whole series between these two teams were pretty even, and that shined through in today's game as well. The Racers were the first team to get hot as they scored in a run in the second inning off a sacrifice fly. That was the only run on the board until the fourth inning when the Racers made it around the diamond yet again, gaining a two-run lead by the end of the fourth. 
 
However, that wasn't going to stop the Ramblers. Loyola came out strong in the fifth inning, recording two runs, the first was from Tori Boysen because of a Racer fielding error and the second from Sophia Remsik, who made it home on a single from Abbey Jacobsen. 
 
Even though they tied up the game, Murray State pushed for the win. They scored a run of their own in the fifth inning to push them ahead of the Ramblers. Little did both teams know that would be the last run scored in this game, resulting in the 2-3 loss for Loyola.  
 
LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS
  • The two runs scored by Remsik and Boysen in the fifth inning. Getting the RBI's on those two runs were Jacobsen and Teagan Sopczak. 
  • Along with her RBI, Jacobsen had two hits in this game. 
  • On defense, Boysen had the most putouts with six. Right behind her was Jacobsen, who had five putouts. Helping out with the most defensive plays was Nova Sinskul, who assisted on four. 
  • Peyton Pepkowski pitched all six innings of today's game. Of the 25 batters faced, she struck out five of them and only walked two.
 
UP NEXT
The Ramblers are ready to start Missouri Valley Conference play as they head to Bradley for the opening weekend. This three-game series will take place on Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20. The double header will be played on Saturday with a single game to follow on Sunday. All three contests will be streamed on ESPN+ and there will be live stats available.
