Broncos Split Twinbill with Falcons on Senior Day

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Western Michigan softball team celebrated senior day on Saturday afternoon at Ebert Field with a Mid-American Conference doubleheader split versus Bowling Green, falling 4-2 in game one prior to a 5-3 game two victory. 

With the Saturday split, the Broncos take the series victory over the Falcons after a 2-0 win in the series opener Friday, improving to 7-7 in the MAC. 

The 2019 senior class of Erin Barg, Jenna Faultersack, Jordan Kurth, Skyler Sobeski, and Brooke Wyman were honored prior to game one. Each senior position player recorded at least one base hit on the day, while Kurth tossed five scoreless innings in the pitcher's circle including a save in the series finale.

Both teams were held scoreless through the first five innings until a four-run sixth inning by the Falcons that was followed by late Bronco rally in which they came up two runs short. 

Bronco pitchers Jordan Kurth and Reily Galloway limited BGSU to just three hits until the visitor bats broke out in the sixth inning. Bowling Green scored four runs off four hits, headlined by a bases-clearing double to claim a 4-0 lead. 

WMU had an answer during its last chance at a comeback, scoring a pair with two outs off a single from Sydney Stefanick, but it was all the Broncos could push across.

The Broncos' offensive production all came in the second inning, scoring five off four hits and two Falcon errors. 

Stefanick started in the pitcher's circle and earned her second win of the series, tallying six strikeouts in six inning while allowing three runs. Stefanick and the Broncos kept the Bowling Green batters in check until a three-run sixth inning as their lead was trimmed to two runs, but Kurth capped off senior day by shutting the door in the seventh with her first save of the season. 

WMU's five-run second frame was led by RBI doubles from Skyler Sobeski, Sophia Ehlers, and Erin Barg. 

Sobeski and Barg tallied two hits a piece while Stefanick improved her record to 8-7 in the pitcher's circle.
