FAIRBORN, Ohio - The Cleveland State softball team dropped the series opener at Wright State, 13-5, in six innings on Friday afternoon.

The teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader today, but the second game was postponed due to inclement weather. The squads will now play two games on Sunday (April 10) starting at 12:00 pm to conclude the series.

Erica McNew and Alyson Broschk both went 2-for-3 today, while Emma Nicholas and Riley Ries both drove in two runs and McNew had one RBI.

The Vikings scored three runs in the first inning as Ries had a two-run double and McNew added an RBI single. WSU scored a run in the bottom half of the first to pull within 3-1 and broke the game open with six runs in the third and another tally in the fourth to open up an 8-3 lead.

A two-run single from Nicholas in the sixth pulled the Vikings within three runs at 8-5, but the Raiders responded with five runs in the bottom half of the sixth to end the game.

Susan Knight struck out four, while only five of the Raider runs were earned.
