Giese Ties Hit Record, Phoenix Drops Pair at St. Thomas

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Tuesday was a tough day for the Green Bay softball team as they fell in a doubleheader at St. Thomas 8-1 in game one and 7-1 in game two. Tiffany Giese recorded her 168th career hit in game two, tying her for the all-time record in Green Bay softball history. Giese will look to sit alone at the top this weekend against Cleveland State.

The St. Thomas offense came to play early, putting up five runs in the first, all of them coming with two outs. Katie Goelz put the Tommies on the board with a two-RBI single that was followed up by a Kameron Monson two-RBI double and another RBI single from Abbi Stierlen.

The score remained 5-0 St. Thomas until the Tommies added three more in the fourth inning. Brooke Ellestad drove two in with a double to right field and Coryn Jacobsen brought another run home with an RBI double to left field to make the score 8-0.

The Phoenix avoided the run-rule thanks to a Dawn Pawlak double that scored Hailey Heckenlaible in the top of the fifth inning. However, the GB offense struggled to generate additional offense and fell 8-1.  

Brittany Baneck (6-9) got the ball to start for Green Bay and took the loss. Kelly Greene was a bright spot for the Phoenix, throwing two scoreless innings in relief, allowing three hits, with no walks and two strikeouts.

At the plate, the Phoenix was paced by Pawlak, who went 1-for-1 on the day with a double and an RBI. Jadin Justman also had a solid game at the plate, finishing 1-for-2 with a walk.
