Tricia Yarotsky hit a walk-off two-run double in the bottom of the fifth as the Bearkats improved to 13-21 overall and 4-2 in WAC play. Mika Vento got the win in the circle by posting five strikeouts and allowing only two earned runs in five innings.
Â
The Wolverines (8-17, 2-4) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but it did not last very long.
Â
The Bearkats erupted for six runs in the bottom of the frame as Brodie Quinlan got things rolling with a one-out single. Brailey Wasik followed with an RBI double and came around to score on a doubly by Kylie Hobbs with two outs to tie the game.
Â
Hannah Scheaffer broke the tie with an RBI single to left field, and Tricia Yarotsky gave Sam Houston a pair of runners on with an infield single. Haleigh Carter added an RBI single and the other two runs came on an error and on a throw down to second on a steal attempt that allowed Carter to cross the plate.
Â
Wasik tacked on another run with a solo home run to left field, and Emily Telg brought the crowd to its feet when she laced a ball down the right field line for an inside the park home run to make it 8-2 in the third.
