Dixie State downs Winthrop 8-2

Dixie State softball picked up a big 8-2 win over Winthrop Saturday evening. 

How it happened:  The Trailblazers were dubbed as the visiting team in this game and had a slow start offensively. It wasn't until the top of the third inning when Marissa Rubio started things off with a single. Shea Clements drew a walk to put two runners on base for Laura Lockard to rake in the RBIs with her single to left field.  

As the third inning ended, DSU had a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, Winthrop got two runs off four hits and one error to tie the game. 

In the top of five, things got moving for Dixie. Kasey Crawford drew a walk and later stole second to get in scoring position. Laura Lockard then singled to center field for her third RBI as Crawford scored. Later in the inning, DSU had two runners in scoring and thanks to a fielding error on Winthrop's shortstop one more Dixie run crossed the plate. Carly Eldredge picked up a single for two RBIs before the inning ended with DSU getting four runs to push their lead to 6-2. 

DSU kept pushing in the top of the seventh getting two runners on base as Rachel Campbell singled to right field for an RBI. With a runner in scoring position a wild pitch sent them home and DSU closed out the 8-2 win. 

At the plate: Dixie State ended the game with eight hits from 31 at bats. DSU drew six walks and had 11 strikeouts. 

Trapp went 2-2 from the plate, drew two walks and scored two runs. Lockard ended the game going 2-3 at the plate with three RBIs. 

In the field: The Trailblazers ended the game with 21 putouts and six assists. Campbell led with nine putouts while Eldredge and Bauerle each added two assists.
