Marsh powers Falcons past WV State for a split of the doubleheader

INSTITUTE, W.Va. – In the first game-and-a-half of Saturday's doubleheader, Notre Dame College's offense was held scoreless. A six-run fifth inning, capped by a three-run home run by Emily Marsh gave NDC a 6-1 win in game two over West Virginia State University. The Falcons' pitching allowed just three runs throughout the day.
 
Early on in the first game of the day, both teams had trouble scoring any runs. Through the first two innings both teams were limited to one hit, each.
 
Sophomore Ella Collinsworth singled, to lead off the fourth for Notre Dame, and stole second. Graduate student Alexi Maciejowski walked and sophomore Alyssa Wahl reached on a fielder's choice to put runners on the corners. Collinsworth was then thrown out at home on another fielder's choice. In the bottom of the inning, West Virginia State had a runner on third, but could not score.
 
WVSU broke through with two out in the fifth inning. Emma Ruth tripled in the first run and Emele Clark hit an RBI single. That ended the Falcons' streak of 22 consecutive scoreless innings pitched.
 
Breuer led the team with two hits in the first game. Pitcher Grace Fisher allowed just two runs on six hits over six innings pitched.
 
Neither team scored in the first three innings of game two. Notre Dame's pitcher Allison Weilnau allowed just one hit over that span.
 
Weilnau pitched a complete game, picking up her 12th win. She is NDC's first pitcher to win over 11 games in a season since Taylor Olson in 2017.
 
After WVSU scored a run in the fourth, NDC stepped up to the plate in the top of the fifth and responded to the Yellow Jackets' run. With one out in the inning, junior Katelyn DeWeese walked and sophomore Emma Gumont reached on an error. Maciejowski came up with runners on first and second base and two out. She hit a single to left field to tie the game at one. Wahl hit a ball to the left side that was misplayed by the Yellow Jackets' shortstop, allowing two more to come home.
 
Following a single by sophomore Destany Blake, that put two runners on base, Marsh hit her second home run of the season, and first since February, to give NDC a 6-1 lead.
 
Blake tied her season-high with three hits in game two, going 3-for-3.
 
Notre Dame now has 24 wins, which is the most since 2015 when the Falcons won 27. The Falcons' 14 Mountain East Conference wins is tied for the most in program history.
 
NDC will play the University of Charleston, at 1 and 3 p.m., on April 16.
