IRVING, Texas - The University of Dallas softball team lost their double-header against Arlington Baptist Univeristy on Friday.
GAME 1 - Dallas 10, Arlington Baptist 18 (5 Innings)
WP: K. Murphy (1-0)
LP: Isabella Garza (0-1)
The Patriots came out swinging, racking up seven runs on seven hits in the first inning to take the early lead. Katie Duffy-Relf got the Crusaders on the board in the bottom half of the inning with a two-RBI single, and the Patriots responded in kind with a pair of runs in the second.
Dallas made it a three-run game with four runs in the second, thanks to big hits by Mariah Hinojosa and Duffy-Relf.
Arlington Baptist had another big inning in the third, scoring eight runs on eight hits to make it 17-6.
It was 18-7 going into the fifth after the two sides traded blows, bringing up the Crusaders in their last attempt to avoid the mercy rule. They nearly did it, as Honojosa hit a two-out, three-run homer to make it 18-10 and pulling the Cruaders within one run of forcing a sixth inning. But that would be all they had in the tank for game one, as the Patriots one game one in five innings.
