Findlay, Ohio - The University of Findlay softball team hosted Parkside at Findlay High School on Sunday, March 15. The Oilers dropped the opener 10-6 before bouncing back to take game two, 10-8.

Game 1 (L 10-6)
Parkside jumped out to a 2–0 lead in the first before adding two solo home runs in the third inning to extend the advantage to 4–0. Findlay finally got on the board in the bottom half of the inning when junior Joslynne Frazier singled home senior Alexys Antal to get the Oilers on the board.

Frazier struck again in the fifth, launching a solo home run to center field to cut the deficit to 4–2. However, Parkside pushed across a run in the sixth and erupted for five runs on seven hits in the seventh inning to take control of the contest.

Findlay mounted a rally in the bottom of the seventh. Senior Annika Bredel opened the inning with a solo home run, and junior Anna Jones followed later with a two-run double to right center. Freshman Sophie Retton added an RBI single as the Oilers scored four runs in the frame, but the comeback fell short.

Frazier led the Findlay offense with two hits and two RBI, while Bredel and Jones each drove in runs. In the circle, Alexys Antal took the loss after allowing four runs in three innings, while freshman Kaylynn Carter and sophomore Taylor Post combined to pitch the remainder of the game.
