Fire Dominate Game One to Win Series, Keiser Takes Game Two

Offense explodes in game one, Keiser takes advantage of defensive miscues in game two to earn split.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The Fire sealed the series win in the opener and narrowly missed the sweep late. Southeastern University plated runs in six different innings in an offensive outburst before a Keiser University sac fly in the seventh finished game two and the split, 10-2 and 6-5.

In game one, the Fire held a 2-1 edge when Kassidy Moore drove the ball to left field for a sac fly to score Leah Gonzalez for a SEU two-run advantage. Rayley McKinney put the game away for the Fire in the top of the fifth with a two-run double before Lauren Sekinger and Moore singled home another run apiece for a 9-2 lead. Edan Playa gave up one of the only three hits of the game over the final two scoreless innings to pick up the complete game win.

Trailing 5-4 going to the seventh inning of the second contest, Maria Zelenka led off with a single, was sacrificed to second, and moved to third on Chapel Cunningham's single. Ella Brooks drove her in for a 5-5 tie on a single through the left side. Keiser, though, would answer on the home side as a lead off walk scored the game-winner with a walk-off sacrifice fly.

SEU recorded 17 of their 24 hits on the day in the opener. Cunningham and Sekinger combined for over half, nine of them. Cunningham went 5-for-8, all singles, with three runs, one RBI, and a stolen base. Sekinger had the big first-game stick, going 4-for-5 with a run and a pair of RBI.

Gonzalez singled two times and belted a 3-run homer with five RBI, while McKinney added a 3-for-5 first contest with a double and two RBI.

Brooks tripled and singled with three runs and two RBI. Katie Short was 2-for-2 off the bench with two runs and a stolen base, while Moore chipped in two singles and two RBI.

Hailey Bradley, Nicole Wasserstrom and Zelenka rounded out the hitting with a single apiece.

Playa improved to 12-3 on the year after she logged the complete game in the circle, giving up three hits and four walks without an earned run. Zelenka (11-3) gave up eight hits and only two earned runs with a pair of strikeouts over 6.2 innings in game two.

With the series win, SEU improves to 24-6 (6-3 SUN) while Keiser drops to 25-11 (8-4 SUN).

The Fire return to action when they host Webber International in a three-game series this weekend. The single game on Friday at 3 p.m. will be followed by a doubleheader on Saturday at 1 & 3 p.m.
