Box Score EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Northern Iowa softball team split a pair of games in their doubleheader with Evansville on Friday afternoon. The Panthers (23-8, 3-2 MVC) plated five runs in the final inning to take game one, 6-0, before falling in game two 6-1.
Game one proved to be a pitcher's duel as UNI's Chelsea Ross and UE's Amanda Blankenship stifled batters for the opening five innings, allowing a combined five hits during the span. Ross finished the game allowing just five hits while striking out seven. The senior has not allowed Evansville to score a run on her since the third inning of a 10-2 win over the Aces in 2014.
