BRANSON, Mo. – Valor Softball returned to action on Friday (Feb. 27) afternoon, taking part in the Showtime Classic against #9 USAO and Mission.

Evangel and USAO battled in a top-25 matchup, as the Valor were able to use a Camryn Casey walk-off home run to down the Drovers, 2-1. Against Mission, Evangel jumped on the Patriots early, taking a 6-0 shutout victory in the finale.

NOTABLE

  • Maddy Meierer earned the win against USAO, striking out seven batters and earning her sixth win of the season.

  • Madi Bentley earned her fifth win of the season against Mission, allowing just one hit in three innings of pitching.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Meierer and Thompson battled in the EU vs USAO matchup, as both pitchers were on, not allowing any run producing offense in the first seven innings of play.

  • In the eighth inning and in the international tie breaker, USAO was able to plate a run, hitting back-to-back singles to take a 1-0 lead over EU.

  • With Natalie Morgan placed on second to open the bottom of the eighth inning, Audrey Carlton used a sacrifice bunt to advance Morgan, bringing Camryn Casey to the plate. Casey would battle at the plate and with two strikes, the senior ripped a ball to left field that cleared the fence, walking it off for the Valor in an upset win over #9 USAO, 2-0.

  • Evangel jumped out against Mission, using a Kenna Mayfield single and a Naomi Perkins home run to right field to give EU a 2-0 lead over the Patriots.

  • In the top of the second, Chloe Krans singled, scoring on an error, while Danielle Cutbirth also scored on a Perkins ground out, after getting on base via the earlier error.

  • The Valor would not add any additional runs until the top of the sixth, as Cutbirth doubled, followed by a Mayfield single. A Perkins sacrifice fly scored Cutbirth and a Natalie Morgan sacrifice fly scored Mayfield, giving EU a 6-0 lead.

  • The trio of Madi Bentley, Bodie Smith, and Sarah Wilkinson shut down the Patriots, taking a 6-0 shutout victory on Friday.
