Vikings Split Doubleheader with Robert Morris

HILLSBORO, Ore. –  The Portland State softball team earned its tenth win of the season on Friday, defeating Robert Morris 6-2 in the opener before dropping game two 8-1 at Hillsboro Stadium. 

The Vikings are now 10-7, while the Colonials are 10-2.

In the first game, Olivia Grey got the start for the Vikings, holding the Colonials scoreless through the opening three innings. RMU used two hits in the top of the fourth frame to take a 1-0 lead. 

The Vikings responded with four runs of their own in the fourth. Paetynn Lopez notched the first RBIs of the day for PSU, scoring Olivia Dean and Emily Johansen with a double to left-center, putting the Vikings on top 2-0. Mariah Rodriguez and Shea Garcia added to the lead with back-to-back RBIs before the Colonials escaped the inning, trailing 4-1.

Johansen scored a speedy Maddie Thompson from third with a suicide squeeze in the fifth to add to the Vikings' lead. Logan Riggenbach followed, bringing home Dean to make it 6-1.

The Colonials threatened in the sixth, loading the bases with no outs. Grey was up for the challenge, retiring three of the next four batters to limit RMU to a single run. 

Grey did the same in the final frame, shutting down the RMU offense to improve to 7-1 on the season and clinch the 6-2 victory.

The Vikings tallied seven hits in the opening game, three of those coming from Lopez. Grey pitched a complete seven innings, allowing six hits and one earned run with ten strikeouts. 

In game two, Robert Morris used a grand slam to jump out to a 5-0 lead. The Vikings took advantage of a Colonial error in the bottom of the first to score their only run of the game. 

RMU added to its lead in the third, scoring three runs off of three hits. The Vikings couldn't mount a rally in the final innings as the Colonials walked away with the 8-1 win. 

Annie Lemos was solid on the rubber for the Vikings in the final four innings. The freshman held the Colonials scoreless while limiting them to just three hits. Only four Vikings recorded a hit in the final game.

The two teams will meet again in a rubber match tomorrow at noon at Gordon Faber Field 4.
