Fehr and Gould homer in win over North Alabama

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – With the score knotted at 4-4 heading into the sixth inning, Jessica Fehr and Eryn Gould hit solo home runs in the final two innings to lift the University of Evansville softball team to a 6-4 victory over North Alabama in Friday's opener of the Blues City Classic.
Box Score (PDF)
Fehr finished the game with two hits, two runs and two RBI for UE (7-7) while Gould picked up two hits on the day.  Kat Mueller added two hits of her own while Alyssa Barela led the team with three RBI.
 
North Alabama led the game off with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the first.  Evansville responded with four runs in the second, all coming with two outs.  After the first two batters were retired via strikeouts, Katie McLean reached on a single before Lindsay Renneisen reached on a walk.  Mueller added the second single of the frame to load the bases up for Jessica Fehr, who was hit by a pitch to bring in the first UE run.
 
That brought Barela to the plate, who hit a bases-clearing single to give the Aces a 4-2 advantage.  The Lions knotted the score with two more scores in the bottom of the second.
 
The score would remain knotted at 4-4 until UE batted in the sixth and used some more 2-out magic.  With the first two batters striking out, Fehr came to the plate and hit a solo home run to put the Aces on top.  Eryn Gould added some insurance in the seventh, hitting a leadoff home run to extend the advantage to 6-4.
 
Pitching three innings of relief, Izzy Vetter shut the door on UNA in the final innings to clinch the win.  Vetter struck out five batters and gave up just one hit in her three frames of work to earn her third win of the season.  Starter Emily Lockhart tossed four innings and allowed four unearned runs.
 
Tomorrow, UE will be back on the diamond to face Northern Illinois in a 9 a.m. game before tangling with Northwestern State at 11:30 a.m.
