Doane Softball closed out the opening weekend of play on Saturday in Portland, Texas. The Tigers dropped their first game of the day, 14-6, to Huston-Tillotson (Texas). In the final game of the day, Doane pushed NAIA No. 16 Columbia to the limit, falling in 12 innings, 11-10.
The Tigers struck with five runs in the 1st inning against HTU, but would give up 11 runs in the 2nd inning. Ashley Jacobson (JR/Omaha, Neb.) started, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in 1.1 innings. Station Charters (FR/Severance, Colo.) took the loss, allowing three runs on one hit and one walk as she was limited to three batters faced. Emily Haines (FR/Folsom, Calif.) threw the final 2.2 innings for the Tiger pitchers, allowing seven runs, four earned, on eight hits and a walk.
Mikenzi Wiseman (SR/North Platte, Neb.) led the offense with two hits, two runs scored, and three RBIs as she hit her second home run of the season.
Columbia held the advantage in the final game of the weekend by serving as the home team, which proved important in extra innings. Doane scored five runs in the 2nd inning before falling behind 7-6 through five innings. The Tigers regained the lead with two runs in the 6th but Columbia would tie the game with a run in the 7th. Both teams were held scoreless through the opening three frames of extra innings despite the international tie-break rule in effect by placing a runner at 2nd base to open the inning.
Doane scored a run in the 11th but it was answered by the Cougars in the bottom of the frame. The Tigers regained the lead with a run in the 12th only to see Columbia score twice to walk-off for the victory.
Four players recorded two hits apiece for the Tigers in the game. Angelina Esqueda (FR/Las Vegas, Nev.) was 2-for-5 with a run and an RBI. Haley Kennedy (JR/Lincoln, Neb.) had two hits and two RBIs. The duo pulled off a double steal with Esqueda taking home on her steal attempt. Erika Herrera (SR/Corona, Calif.) and Jade Hill (FR/San Diego, Calif.) added two hits and two runs scored apiece with Hill posting a team-high three RBIs.
Breanna Hamilton (SR/Windsor, Colo.) threw 4.1 innings, allowing four runs, three earned, on five hits and seven walks with one strikeout. Haines threw 2.0 innings, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks with a strikeout.
