Hawks edge Knights behind fifth inning rally

A Sydney Wilde home run highlighted a four-run fifth inning as Rockhurst rallied past Bellarmine, 4-3, in game two of Friday's doubleheader at Loyola Park.

Wilde, a freshman from Jefferson City, Mo., in her second career plate appearance, turned the tides with a three-run blast to left field. Lauren Marks and Kiri Evans scored on Wilde's homer.

The Hawks would keep the line moving with a Megan Freitag walk, an Emily Truitt double, followed by a Hanna Stam walk. With the bases loaded, Emily Clark drew another walk, scoring Freitag and putting the Hawks ahead 4-3. Rockhurst battled and showed great plate discipline in grinding out what would prove to be the game-winning run.

Shannon Greene (three innings pitched, zero runs, zero hits) kept the Knights at bay in the final three frames, coming on in relief of Olivia Prather (4 IP, 3 ER).

Bellarmine took game one by a score of 3-1. Calli Wibbenmeyer collected three hits and drove in the Hawks' lone run.

Rockhurst (18-13, 7-5 GLVC) is back in action at Loyola Park Saturday against first place Southern Indiana at 12:00 and 2:00 p.m.
