Peters Blasts Record-Tying 10th Home Run as Green Bay Splits Doubleheader with Cleveland State

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay softball team and Cleveland State were finally able to meet after multiple schedule changes, with the teams splitting a doubleheader Wednesday afternoon.

GAME 1 | Green Bay 3, Cleveland State 1

The Phoenix got on the board right away when Becca Edwards walked with the bases loaded. Cleveland State's Becca Hurosky tied things up in the top of the second when she sent a solo homer over the right-field wall. The game was tied at one apiece going into the bottom of the fourth when Alicia Peters blasted her 10th home run of the season. The senior standout now has 19 RBIs on the year, which is good for third on the team. That hit proved to be the winner for Green Bay, as the Phoenix held the Vikings scoreless the rest of the way. Brittany Baneck started in the circle and tossed seven strong innings, allowing just one run on seven hits. She struck out seven after facing 31 batters.
 
Peters and Edwards were both 2-for-2, drove in a run, and walked in the win.

GAME NOTES
» Tiffany Giese went 1-for-3, pushing her hit streak to 19.
» Peters reached base all three times, going 2-for-2 with a walk, RBI, and run scored.
» Baneck tossed 123 pitches in her outing and walked just three batters.
» Each team committed one error and was nearly even in the hit column (GB had six, CSU had seven).

MAKING HISTORY
Peter's home run in the fourth inning marked her 10th of the season, tying the all-time single-season home run record set by Danielle Peerenboom in 2010.
 
GAME 2 | Green Bay 6, Cleveland State 7
Both teams were pitching gems through the first three innings, with neither team allowing any runs on just three combined hits. That began to change in the fourth when Hurosky launched another home run, this time a two-run shot that put Cleveland State up 2-0. Green Bay responded immediately in the bottom half of the frame when Hailey Heckenlaible lined a single down the left-field line to score Jadin Justman. Gracie Peterson followed suit with a sacrifice fly that brought home Peters and tied the game at two.
 
GB took their first lead of game two when Justman ripped a double into left field, bringing home Randi McKay. The Vikings had a response of their own in the sixth, bringing in three runs thanks to a bases-clearing triple by Brooke Albaugh that gave them a 5-3 lead. GB would bring it back to within one when McKay put the ball in play and forced an error that allowed Gracie Peterson to come home and make it 5-4.

In the seventh, Cleveland State would tack on two more runs when Melissa Holzopfel reached on a fielder's choice, bringing in Jenna Deang. Sydney Bajusz had an RBI double that made it 7-5 going into the bottom of the frame.

Down to their last chance, Green Bay started the bottom of the seventh with a bang when Justman torched a line drive over the center-field wall, marking her sixth home run of the season and team-leading 24th RBI. GB continued to make things interesting by loading the bases up before Peterson drove in a run on a single to center to cut the Viking lead to 7-6. Holzopfel, pitching in relief for Torrie Jenkins, worked out of the jam and held Green Bay at six.

GAME NOTES
» Tiffany Giese's 19-game hitting streak came to an end after going 0-for-5.
» Green Bay's three-game win streak came to an end.
» Each team notched 10 hits.
» Cleveland State committed four errors, compared to GB's two.
» Jadin Justman was hot at the dish, going 3-for-4 and scoring two runs.
» Of the 13 combined runs, just seven were earned.
» Green Bay had the lead first in both games.
 
UP NEXT
Green Bay will have a short turnaround, and travel to Indianapolis to face IUPUI Friday and Saturday in a three-game set. Friday features a doubleheader that begins at noon, and Saturday's single game will be played at noon. None of the games will be live-streamed, but fans can follow along via live stats.
