LUBBOCK, Texas – The ACU softball team suffered a 9-0 setback in 5 innings against No. 11 Texas Tech on Tuesday evening.
Â
The Wildcats (15-34, 11-10) surrendered five runs in the third inning as the Red Raiders hit an RBI single, RBI double, and a 2-run home run in succession. Texas Tech (40-11, 18-3) also scored twice in the second and fourth innings.
Â
Catrin Hoffman continued her recent success at the plate by singling through the right side in the first inning. She now has seven hits in the past five games.
Â
Ari Maxwell was 2-for-2 on the day, and led-off the fifth with a double to left centerfield. She advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Roo Stone. But, pinch hitter Rachel Cook smacked a low line drive right at Tech first baseman NiJaree Canady for the game's final out.
Â
Taylor Bachmeyer's 11-game hitting streak – the longest for a Wildcat player this year -- came to an end as ACU's leadoff hitter went 0-for-2, but she made an impressive running grab in foul territory in right field to end the fourth inning.
Â
Starter Chase Mueller took the loss in the circle for the Wildcats. It was her first pitching appearance since an April 4 start at Utah Valley. Taylor Haywood came on in relief for the fourth inning and gave up two runs – one of which was unearned.
Â
Junior Elizabeth Schaefer drew one walk to give her 25 for the season. That is the second most in a single-season in ACU's Division I era behind Callie Burris' 34 walks in 2022.
Â
ACU returns to action for the final home games of the season on Friday and Saturday against another nationally ranked team -- No. 24 Grand Canyon. The Wildcats play a doubleheader on Friday beginning at 2 p.m., and Saturday's regular season finale starts at 12 p.m.
Â
A ceremony for ACU's eight seniors will take place following Saturday's game at Poly Wells Field.
