Maycee Godbolt led off the bottom of the sixth inning with an opposite-field home run, lifting the Bowling Green State University softball team to a 3-2 win over the University of Akron on Saturday (April 23). The game, the opener of a three-game Mid-American Conference weekend series, took place at a sun-drenched Meserve Field.
The Zips jumped on top early in the nightcap, posting a 5-2 win to split the Saturday DH.
Bailey Sample's two-run homer had given the Falcons (24-14, 10-8 MAC) a 2-0 lead in the third inning of the opener, but the Zips (17-25, 12-9 MAC) responded with two runs in the top of the sixth, as a Lexi Campbell double plated a pair of teammates.
