FLORENCE – A pair of RBI-singles in the bottom of the sixth inning propelled the University of North Alabama softball team to a 3-1 home win over UAH on Sunday, completing the three-game sweep against the No. 7 Chargers. The win gives No. 15 UNA a 28-5 record on the season and moves the Lions into second place in the Gulf South Conference standings with a 13-4 league record.

With runners at first and second, Carey Grace Peebles then singled down the left line to score Gillison and account for the final score.

Bree Blevins got the complete-game victory in the circle for UNA. It was the second win in the series for the senior from Pell City who improved to 12-3 on the year. She scattered five hits and struck out three in seven innings of work.

The two teams traded solo home runs in the fourth inning. UAH (23-8 overall, 14-5 GSC) took a 1-0 lead off the bat of Emily Glover in the top of the frame. Gillison answered for the Lions in the bottom of the inning with her sixth homer of the season to tie the score at 1-1.
