TU Suffers Pair of Losses at No. 2 Marian

In the first contest, Marian (30-2, 21-1 CL) scored all nine of its runs in the first four innings, including a grand slam in the third, to lead 9-0 going into the fifth frame.

 

Taylor responded with all three of its runs in the fifth, as Hannah Castor produced a two-run single and Taylor Wilson’s sacrifice fly scored Castor.

The Knights scored both of its runs in the opening stanza to lead 2-0 for the majority of the game.

 

Taylor had a runner on third with two outs in both the fourth and fifth innings, and the Trojans converted a run in the fifth but could not push the runner home in the fourth.

 

Castor drove home Kara Tucker with an RBI single in the fifth for the lone TU run.
