TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Purdue Boilermakers picked up its second win of the season (2-1) with a 3-1 victory over Longwood to close out the JoAnne Graf Classic.
Madi Elish tossed a complete game, culminating in a career-high seven strikeouts. The Arizona transfer records her first win (1-0), after making her first appearance last night in relief at No. 4/5 Florida State.
Purdue did not forfeit the lead during the game and out-hit Longwood 4-3, a team coming off a victory last night against the Seminoles. Meanwhile, the Boilermakers committed no errors while the Lancers were charged with two.
Producing runs were Jade Moy, Alex Echazarreta and pinch runner Jordyn Ramos. Designated player Echazarreta scored the game-winning run on an RBI single by shortstop Tyrina Jones. An unearned insurance run came in the top of the third by Ramos after Becca Edwards walked and a Longwood error allowed the freshman to score from third.
Edwards had herself a day, making base twice including an RBI single on her first at-bat to put the Boilermakers on the board and a walk in the top of the third, which turned into pinch runner Jordan Ramos scoring a few batters later.
Purdue will be back in action Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. ET at Campbell. Then, the Boilermakers will make the drive over to N.C. State for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this weekend, which will feature Syracuse and N.C. State.
