FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. - The Drake University softball team dropped the first game of its Saturday doubleheader at the Razorback Invitational, 2-1, to Iowa State. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for the Bulldogs.

Drake and junior pitcher Brynne Dordel (Chanhassen, Minn.) trailed 1-0 after a second-inning bunt single by Cyclone Amanda Bradberry scored Alex Johnson. Dordel settled in after that, throwing four shutout innings to keep Drake within one.

The Bulldog offense managed four hits through the first six innings and was held scoreless by ISU pitcher Tori Torrescano. Drake pushed across its lone run with back-to-back seventh-inning doubles by seniors Carrie Hatfield (Des Moines, Iowa) and Kelsey Kahler (North Liberty, Iowa). Kahler's RBI double scored freshman Lindsey Vande Wall (Prairie City, Iowa), who entered the game as a pinch runner for Hatfield, and tied the game at one each entering the last of the seventh.

Dordel allowed the inning's first two runners to reach and left the game in favor of senior Mandy Osborn (Blair, Neb.) with no outs. Osborn recorded two outs before ceding the game-winning hit to ISU's Carleigh Berry. The loss dropped Osborn to 0-1 on the season.

The loss put Drake at 8-4 on the season. The Bulldogs wrap up their Saturday slate with tourney host Arkansas Saturday night.
