UNK Finishes Up in Lubbock; OKC Trip on Tap

Kearney, Neb. – West Texas A&M and No. 19 Lubbock Christian used 30 hits to beat Nebraska-Kearney, 9-4 and 10-2 (5 innings), Saturday in Texas.

The games were part of the Lubbock Collegiate Sports Invitational. UNK (1-3) beat Texas-Permian Basin and lost to Midwestern (Texas) State on Friday.

In the morning against WT (4-0), UNK erased a 2-1 deficit when junior cleanup hitter and first baseman Hailey Schaneman (Grand Junction, Colo.) belted a two-run homer to left in the top of the sixth. While UNK added another run it also stranded two and then freshman eight-hole hitter Madison Johnson (4 for 4, two RBI's) led off the bottom of the inning with a homer to right center.

The Lady Buffs then added six more runs, three coming via a home run by sophomore center fielder Ruby Salzman. WT finished the day with 18 hits with freshman nine-hole hitter Hailey Neira (4 for 4, one run) joining Johnson as UNK's biggest thorns. Schaneman paced the Lopers by going 2 for 4 with a run and three RBI's while Lincoln freshman left fielder Carly Dembowski went 1 for 3 with an RBI.

Dembowski hit her first collegiate homer against the LCU Chaparrals (5-2). It came in the top of the third inning and made it 2-1 Lopers. However, the Chaps scored four in its half of the third and then erupted for five in the fourth. A 12-hit attack included two homers, two triples and a double. Senior right fielder Athena Muniz went 2 for 2 with two runs and four RBI's from the seventh spot in the lineup.

Lincoln junior shortstop and leadoff hitter Abbie Vodicka went 1 for 3 and scored a run while Omaha junior second baseman Kaylee Schutte was 1 for 1 and drew a walk.

UNK is scheduled to play four games in Oklahoma City/Edmond, Okla., next weekend but cold temperatures may alter that tournament.
