BELOIT, Wis. - After losing game one of Wednesday's doubleheader at Beloit 2-1, Carroll's softball team salvaged a split with a 9-5 victory in the nightcap.

In the day's first game, Beloit (8-24) jumped on the board first in the bottom of the third on a bases loaded walk issued to Angela Donath. The Pioneers would answer the very next inning, as Avery Sorochan scored thanks to a Beloit error. The Buccaneers would take the lead for good in the sixth on an RBI single to center, which allowed Donath to score.

Carroll out-hit Beloit in the game by a 6-4 margin. Abby Curtis led the Pios with two base hits, while also collecting a pair of stolen bases, breaking the school's single season stolen base record with her 24th of the year. Andrea Kuhne (6-7) picked up the hard-luck loss, as she allowed two runs on four hits and struck out five in a six-inning complete game.

Game two saw Carroll jump out to an early lead with a two-run second inning, highlighted by an RBI double by Reagan Goluch, before two runs would score on an error. Kiana Johnson then added an RBi double of her own in the third, before Beloit got on the board when Donath scored on an RBI single. Carroll added three more runs in the fourth, with two scoring on a single off the bat of Madison Hoagland. The other run that inning crossed the plate via an error.

Beloit's Stella Lutes made things interesting in the fifth, smacking a three-run homer to left to cut the Pios' lead to three. Carroll was unfazed, adding two more runs in the sixth on an RBI triple by Hoagland, who would later score on a groundout.

Carroll finished the game with eight hits, with two apiece coming from Hoagland and Johnson. Hoagland and Curtis each scored a pair of runs. The team also finished with four stolen bases, with two coming from Hoagland and one apiece by Curtis and Sorochan. Alyssa Cebreros earned the win, allowing four runs on six hits in 3.2 innings of relief.

The Pioneers will be in action again on Thursday when they'll host UW-Oshkosh at 3 p.m. That doubleheader will be played at Kilgour Field in Waukesha, Wis.
