TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology softball team came away with a doubleheader split against a talented Greenville team with an 11-3 loss and a 2-0 victory.

The Panthers took the lead early in game one with a couple of two runs home runs, and they would take advantage of three Rose-Hulman errors to tack on four more runs in the third inning and extend the lead to 8-0.

The Fightin' Engineers would get three runs back in the bottom of the inning on a two-run home run from Jessica Newsom and an RBI groundout by Katelyn Sarvis to score Kayla Schnippel from third.

However, Rose-Hulman would come up short 11-3 as Greenville would score two in the fourth and one in the fifth to seal the win.

In the second game, it was a pitchers dual from the very beginning with Phoebe Worstell and Valerie Greenley both locking down the hitters.

Kennedy Michnewicz finally broke through for the Fightin' Engineers in the bottom of the fifth inning with her second career home run over the left field fence to give Rose-Hulman a 1-0 lead.

Aubrey Smith, Schnippel, and Worstell would then add three consecutive singles to give the Fightin' Engineers an insurance run and a 2-0 lead.

Worstell would take those two runs and cruise as she would earn the win in her third complete game shutout of the season as she held the Panthers to just 6 hits as well as striking out 6 batters.

Rose-Hulman moves to 11-7 on the season with the split against a very good Greenville team. They will return to action on Thursday, April 4 as they host the Spalding Golden Eagles at 5:30 and 7:30 PM for the non-conference doubleheader.
