OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The Sam Houston softball team finished the Hall of Fame Classic with a pair of losses to Big Ten programs on Saturday.
Â
The Bearkats (9-19) dropped the opener 11-4 to Iowa and fell 2-0 in the finale against Indiana.
Â
Sam Houston brought the game-winning run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Hoosiers. Taylor Bachmeyer reaced on a fielding error to start the frame and Kyndal Kutac singled but both runners were left stranded on base.
Â
Mika Vento took the loss in the circle despite pitching five scoreless innings. She gave up a run in the fourth and six innings while scattering five hits.
Â
Iowa took a 2-0 lead in the first inning of game one, but the Bearkats answered. Kutac walked and came around to score on an RBI double by Brodie Quinlan.
Â
The Hawkeyes took the lead for good with three runs in the second.
Â
Sam Houston got a run back in the third on a solo home run by Elia Hebel. The Kats pulled within 5-4 when Kutac doubled to lead off the fifth and scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Jordan Peno, who would later score on an RBI single by Brailey Wasik.
Â
Iowa scored three runs in the sixth and seventh to seal the victory.
