Pittsburg State 6 Wayne State 0

            Pittsburg State sophomore pitcher Hannah Harrison limited Wayne State to just four hits while striking out seven batters as the Gorillas needed four runs in the seventh inning to blank the Wildcats 6-0 Sunday afternoon at the 2022 Washburn Invitational Softball Tournament in Topeka, Kansas.  PSU is now 9-5 on the year while WSC slips to 2-8.
            The game was scoreless until the third inning when Pittsburg State scored two runs for a 2-0 lead.
            The Wildcats had two of their four hits in the fourth inning on singles by Kortney Buresh and Kamryn Sparks, but Pittsburg State was able to turn a double play to negate the WSC scoring threat.
            Pittsburg State then put the game out of reach with four runs in the top of the seventh on four hits and one Wildcat error to complete the 6-0 shutout.
            The Gorillas had 13 hits in the game to four by WSC.  Buresh went 2 for 3 with a pair of singles while Sparks and Riley Holmberg each added singles.
            Wayne State starter Hadley Chvatal (1-6) pitched a complete game in a losing effort, charged with just two earned runs over seven innings with three walks and three strikeouts.
            The Wildcats were scheduled to play Central Missouri at 5:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon in their next game at the Washburn Invitational.
