Myhre's Two Walk-offs Lead to Eagles Sweep

Kealey Myhre hit a three run walk-off home run for Embry-Riddle in the first game of the double header against Mount Mercy for the Eagles to win 8-0 in the 5th inning and followed that up with a solo shot to start the bottom of the 7th for ERAU to win game 2 11-10 at Eagle Softball Field on Monday afternoon.

Game Highlights:

  • Embry-Riddle's Explosive Fourth Inning: The home team broke the scoreless tie in the fourth inning, scoring five runs. Leah Salas ignited the rally with a solo home run, followed by a series of hits and a crucial error by Mount Mercy's defense.  
  • Consistent Pitching by V. Brink: Embry-Riddle's pitcher, Vanessa Brink, delivered a stellar performance, pitching a complete game shutout. Brink allowed only two hits and struck out six batters, maintaining control throughout the five innings.

Key Players:

  • Salas: Salas contributed significantly to Embry-Riddle's victory with a home run and solid fielding at shortstop.
  • Myhre: Myhre's three-run homer was a game-changer, and she also played flawlessly at second base.
  • Brink: Brink's dominant pitching performance was crucial in securing the shutout win.
Game 2

Game Highlights:

  • Mount Mercy's Early Lead: Mount Mercy jumped ahead with a three-run second inning, highlighted by A. Webb's two-run triple and R. Trolliet's sacrifice fly. They continued to add runs in the fourth and sixth innings, with Ab. Smith's solo home run and K. Mescher's RBI triple being key moments.
  • Embry-Riddle's Response: Embry-Riddle answered back with a six-run second inning, capitalizing on Mount Mercy's defensive errors.  Salas's two-run homer and Kayli Clark's two-RBI single were pivotal in this rally. 
  • Pitching Performances: Both teams saw mixed results on the mound. Embry-Riddle's Maddy Tuning and Claire Streeter combined for 11 strikeouts, while Mount Mercy's pitchers struggled to contain Embry-Riddle's offense, allowing nine hits and issuing four walks.

Key Players:

  • L. Salas: Salas contributed significantly with a home run and three RBIs, showcasing her power at the plate.
