4/24/2018 12:00:00 AM | Softball
Dayton, Ohio -- Sophomore Miyah Mitchum hit a two-run home run, broke up a no-hit bid and erased a 1-0 deficit in the top of the fifth and sparked the Youngstown State softball team to a 5-2 win over Wright State on Tuesday afternoon.
With the win, the Penguins have now won five straight and improve to 20-20 overall and 10-6 in the Horizon League. Wright State falls to 14-26 overall and 8-6 in the league.
The Raiders jumped out to a 1-0 lead with a run in the bottom of the second off of YSU starter Paige Geanangel. Geanangel, who scattered seven hits with four strikeouts, picked up her 10th win over the year, including her fifth in league play.
In the top of the fifth, Kelly Thompson-Cappadocio reached on a fielding error and Mitchum followed with her first career home run, a blast down the left-field line, to give the Penguins a 2-1 edge.
Youngstown State scored three more in the top of the seventh on a bases-loaded walk to Maddi Lusk and a two-run double to junior Lexi Zappitelli, who went 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
The Raiders threatened in the bottom half of the inning and scored a run but left the bases loaded.
Youngstown State and Wright State play a doubleheader, Wednesday, April 25, staring at 1 p.m.
