Eagles Slay With Both Bats And Pitching

Branson, Mo - It was opening weekend for Judson Softball, and the Eagles came out swinging in both of their ball games at the Branson Bash. 

In game 1, JU batted around in the top of the first as they tallied five runs on the board in a hurry. The big knock was a Braly Wiser three run home run to get things going. An Isabella Dugo triple and Allie Arwood single scored the other runs. 

Wiser belted her second home run of the game in the third inning, as Judson made an 11-0 game in just two and half innings. Wiser finished with three hits and six RBIs. 

The Eagles racked up 20 hits in all in their opener. Cynthia Alvillar also had a big game going 3-5 with three runs and two RBIs. 

Arwood and Tatyana Chavez also had three hits each. 

In her collegiate debut, Katherine Hrinda got the win in the circle. 

The Eagles cruised to the game one win 11-6 over Ecclesia. 

In game two, it was more fast starting for Judson as they took on Mission. Nearly matching their game one first inning, the Eagles sent eight batters to the plate, and pushed across four runs to kick things off. 

In the bottom of the second inning, it was Alvillar connecting for a home run, and Wiser followed her for a back-to-back round trippers. Alvillar had three more hits, giving her six for the day. 

Wiser knocking out three long balls across both games really added the 1-2 punch for the Eagle lineup. 

In the circle, Haley Slaymaker dazzled for six innings keeping the Mission hitters off balance. She pitched the complete game shutout allowing just two singles and no walks. JU picked up the 8-0 run-rule victory to race out to a quick 2-0 start to the new season. 

The Eagles will play a second double header on Saturday to closeout their stay in Branson.
