Lady Bulldogs Fall to Irish in Monday D-H

DAYTON – The Dayton softball team was swept by DeSales in a Monday night double-header here, 17-0 and 20-10. The losses put the Lady Bulldogs record at 4-2 in league play and 6-6 overall.

In game 1, Irish pitcher Kaylee Brown shut down Dayton, giving up just one hit, a single by Kellie Moore. Brown also hit two home runs in the game. Dayton pitcher Savannah McFarland gave up 14 hits, and the Bulldog defense committed five errors.

Dayton’s bats awoke in Game 2, as they scored 10 runs in the first four innings. But the Irish stayed with them, before pounding out six runs in the fourth to lead 14-10 at the end of that frame. Sarah Phillips, Madison Mings and Lexie Ramirez each had two hits for the game.

“DeSales came ready to win,” said Dayton assistant coach Desirae Jones. “We rallied in the nightcap but fell short. It’s pretty hard to make the plays when DeSales hit as well, and hard, as they did.”

The Lady Bulldogs travel to Asotin Saturday.
