MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Arkansas at
Monticello softball team split a Gulf South Conference
double header with Christian Brothers on Monday by losing
the first game 1-0 and posting a 5-3 victory in the second
game.
In the win, UAM reached the scoreboard first with a
sacrifice fly from junior Lindsay Randall
(Keithville, La.) in the top of the first inning that scored
senior lead off batter Meredith Heckel (Hot Springs,
Ark.), who led off the inning with an infield single.
In the top of the fourth, junior Heather Greer
(Hollandale, Miss.) drove in two runs with a double down the
left field line that gave UAM a 3-0 lead, scoring sophomore
Kayla Temple (West Monroe, La.) and senior Lauren
Brooks (West Monroe, La.), who both reached on singles
to left field.
Randall proved to be the player of the game in the top of
the fifth when she blasted a two-run shot over the center
field fence to give her three RBI in the game. Sophomore
Becca Tipton (Dermott, Ark.), who doubled to center one
batter earlier, scored on the home run.
Senior hurler Kate Brady (Longview, Texas) improved
her record to 5-5 after getting a complete game win only
allowing three runs off six hits and walking none of the 27
batters she faced.
In the first game, CBU’s Nikki Dunn was too much to handle
for the Blossoms. Dunn struck out nine batters on her way to
recording her eighth win of the season.
Senior Jenny Dunn (Adelaide, Australia) was a perfect
3 for 3 from the plate, while senior teammate Gemma
Gibson (Dodd City, Texas) trailed closely after going 2
for 4.
Junior Becca Sustaire (Hallsville, Texas) recorded
the loss, moving to 5-8 on the season. Sustaire only allowed
one run off five hits, while striking out five of the 22 CBU
batters she faced.
With the split, UAM now stands at 10-16 overall and 4-2 in
the GSC, while CBU moves to 12-12 overall and 1-7 in the GSC.
The Blossoms step out of league play to host Missouri-St.
Louis on Thursday, March 27 for a double header starting at
1 p.m. at Blossom Field.
