Mangis’ gem lifts Pirates

Jessica Mangis tossed a three-hit shutout and Lacey Kerr drilled her third home run of the season to lift Whitworth to a 5-0 win over Otterbein on Tuesday at the Tucson Invitational softball tournament.

The Pirates’ (5-9) only game of the tournament today was their fourth win in a row.

Mangis, who has been limited by injury since she beat nationally-ranked Linfield on March 14, scattered three singles and only faced a serious threat in the first inning when she stranded an Otterbein runner at third base. Mangis (2-3) struck out six and walked one.

Whitworth rallied for three runs in the third inning. Brittany Wisner and Kelsey Ayers had RBI singles before Kerr doubled home Ayers with the Pirates’ third run. Kerr then hit her third homer of the season, a two-run shot in the fifth inning.
