In the first game, SOU starter Sydney White held Simpson to one earned run on six hits but two costly errors paved the way for the home team. The Redhawks scored the only run they would need in the second when Jessica Dager scored on Amanda Laughlin’s infield single. SOU designated hitter Taylor Martinez was 1-for-2 with a walk to pace the Raiders. Hallums finished with 12 strikeouts and three walks. In the second game, SOU claimed a 2-0 lead in the second on a sacrifice fly by Jazmin Ruvalcaba and a run-scoring single by Kelsey Randall. Simpson got one run back in the bottom of the inning and tied the game on Courtney Thomas’ RBI single in the third. In the seventh, Silveira poked a two-out single and scored when the Raiders committed two errors on Marisa Marmolejo’s grounder to the right side of the infield. SOU pitcher Kayla Spini held Simpson to one earned run in 6 2/3 innings with zero strikeouts and three walks. The Raiders continue their road swing today against William Jessup and Holy Names.
