HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall softball team struggled in a mid-week, non-conference matchup against the Pittsburgh Panthers, falling 7-3 at Dot Hicks Field on Wednesday.
The Thundering Herd fell to 33-18 and the Panthers improved to 10-41.
All of the Herd's runs came in the second inning. Sophomore Rachel Rousseau led off with her sixth double of the season and then senior Hayden Ellis followed up with her eighth double of the year to drive in Rousseau. Marshall loaded the bases and junior Sierra Huerta was walked once that scored senior Abigail Estrada. Sophomore Aly Harrell was then walked with the bases still loaded that brought home senior Hannah Giammarino.
Huerta and Harrell were both walked twice in the contest. Harrell has now brought her season total up to 57. Sophomore Armani Brown was back in the leadoff spot and finished the day with two hits.
Marshall went through three pitchers in the contest as senior Abigail Tolbert got the start and was pulled after two batters and no outs in the third. She allowed six hits, five runs and struck out three. Senior Ali Burdette entered the game in the third and pitched 4.1 innings allowing six hits and two runs with one strikeout. Junior Kailee Williamson finished the game for the final two outs in the top of the seventh.
The Herd returns to action, May 4-5, at home against the Florida Atlantic Owls for senior weekend. Marshall has seven seniors on the roster who will be honored during the series with Abigail Tolbert, Samantha Loose, Ali Burdette, Hannah Giammarino, Hayden Ellis, Abigail Estrada and Briana Daiss composing the class.
Saturday's doubleheader against the Owls is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.
