Softball Falls to Indiana in Home Opener

Belmont is set to Open Conference Play on Friday

NASHVILLE, Tenn-- Belmont University softball fell 10-6 in a competitive matchup against Indiana University for the Bruins home opener. 

The Bruins rallied in the 7th inning to score 4 runs on three hits and cut the deficit to 4 runs. 

Against the Hoosiers Belmont produced 6 runs on 10 hits. Emma Summers and Ellie Giles combined for 5 strikeouts on the day. 

How it Happened
After 317 days the Bruins returned home for the first time during the 2023 season. The skies cleared for the Bruins to take on the Big Ten opponent Tuesday afternoon. 

A 2 RBI home run from Avery Parker in the top of the 2nd began the Hoosiers scoring.

The Hoosiers posted 3 additional runs in the 3rd on an RBI double and 2 RBI single, 5-0. 

Home run leader, Brenna Blume, sent out her 4th of the season to put the Bruins on the board in the 4th. 

Indiana tacked on 3 runs in 5th on Parker's second 2 RBI home run of the day and sacrifice fly. 

The Hoosiers' Taylor Minnick added a home run to her name in the 6th. An RBI triple from Taryn Kern finalized Indiana's scoring on the day. 

Kaley Varner and Abi Ledbetter both had fantastic diving foul ball plays to aid defensively against the Hoosiers. 

Belmont posted the bulk of their scoring in the 7th. Daria Haynie walked then proceeded to steal 2nd and 3rd. Haynie was brought home by Nicole Hughes' single. Emily Cockrill followed the momentum to double and scored Hughes. Green also earned a walk and stole second to put two runners in scoring position. Both were brought home by Blume's single. 

Another hard fought battle on the field for the Bruins as conference play will commence Friday, March 17 as the Bruins are set to host Illinois State for the first weekend series.
