CARLINVILLE, ILL. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology softball team split an offensive minded doubleheader at Blackburn College on Sunday.

The Engineers captured the opener by a 10-6 score, before falling 14-13 in extra innings in the nightcap.

In the opener, junior Katie Yiznitsky (Hamilton, Ohio/Fairfield) blasted a pair of two-run home runs and scored three times to lead the 14-hit Rose-Hulman attack.

Yiznitsky tied a school record by becoming the fourth player in Rose-Hulman softball history to blast two home runs in the same game.

Freshman Kristin Greer (Batavia, Ohio) added three hits, including a double, with one run scored and one RBI.  Junior Katie Frey (Cedar Grove/Franklin County) and freshman Jordan Goslee (St. Joseph, Mich.) also pitched in with two hits each.

In the circle, freshman Darcie Thomas (Brighton, Mich.) tossed a complete-game nine-hitter with seven strikeouts to earn her first college softball victory.

The wild nightcap featured a grand slam by Frey to give Rose-Hulman a 7-4 lead in the seventh inning.  Blackburn scored three times in the seventh to force extra innings with the score tied 7-7.

After both teams scored one run in the eighth, ninth and 10th innings, the Engineers jumped out to a 13-10 lead with a three-run 11th frame.  Goslee led the spurt with a key two-run single.  Blackburn relied on four runs of its own in the 11th to earn the victory.

Frey finished 2-5 with the grand slam, while Goslee had three hits and two runs scored in addition to four RBIs.

Rose-Hulman stands 7-5 overall on the season and returns to action with a Thursday home doubleheader against DePauw University at 5:30 p.m.
