LIONS IMPROVE TO
17-7 ON THE YEAR
CARROLLTON, Ga., - Lindsey Greene
went 5-for-7 on the day and Jessica Liddy
hit two home runs as the University of North
Alabama softball team opened Gulf South
Conference play Saturday with a pair of road
wins at West Georgia. The two victories
improved the Lions’ record to 17-7 on the
year with a 2-0 mark in the conference.
In the first game, the Lions got single runs
in the top of the first, second, fourth and
sixth innings to pick up the 4-1 win.
Sabrina Roberts improved to 7-2 on the year
after scattering six hits and striking out
four batters in the complete-game victory.
Offensively, Greene had a 2-for-3 showing to
lead the Lions, while Kristin Maas and Amy
Goebel each went 2-for-4 at the plate. Liddy
drove in two of the team’s four runs after
drawing a bases-loaded walk in the fourth
inning, and hitting a solo home run in the
top of the sixth.
Liddy, who became UNA’s all-time leader in
hits with 203 for her career, provided the
winning runs in the second game with a
three-run home run in the top of the seventh
inning to give the Lions a 6-3 win. The shot
to center field was the senior’s fourth
homer of the year and leaves her one shy of
Krystal Hand’s career-record of 31.
The home run broke a 3-3 tie and set the
stage for Stephanie Glienke to earn the win
on the mound. The senior, who allowed two
hits and had two strikeouts, improved to 5-3
on the year after pitching the final two
innings in relief of starter Megan Niesel.
The Lions took a 2-0 lead in the top of the
first inning on a two-run home run by
Lindsey Bates, and led 3-0 after Amy Goebel
added a solo shot in the second. West
Georgia tied the score after scoring single
runs in the bottom of the second, third and
fifth innings.
Greene again led the way at the plate, going
3-for-4 with two runs scored. Bates added a
double and finished the second game 2-for-4
with a pair of RBI.
The Lions will continue their GSC road swing
with two games at West Alabama on Sunday.
The two teams will open a double-header at 1
p.m.
