SOFTBALL LIONS FINISH SWEEP AT UNION

JACKSON, Tenn., – An 11-3 mercy-rule victory at Union on Saturday gave the University of North Alabama softball team a three-game sweep and also clinched a spot for the Lions in the upcoming Gulf South Conference Tournament. UNA scored 11 runs off 14 hits on the day to improve to 27-14 overall and 17-10 in GSC play.
 
Five different UNA player had multiple-hits in the game, including Reagan Tittle's 3-for-3 showing. Raven Cole also got the complete-game victory in the circle. She scattered five hits and struck out four to improve to 8-6 on the season.
 
After a scoreless first inning, UNA plated five run in the top of the second. The Lions then scored at least one run in each remaining frame. A three-run sixth inning set the stage for the mercy-rule win.
 
North Alabama had six hits in the second inning alone. After consecutive RBI-singles by Sabrina Gillum and Bailey Nelson, Sydney Sanders connected on a three-run home run for the Lions. The shot to left field was her fifth of the season and 38th for the team.
 
Shelby Woodard led off the third inning with a walk, setting the stage for pinch-runner Madison Daniel to reach third before scoring on a wild pitch.
 
Union added two runs in the bottom of the third before the Lions added to their lead. Sanders walked in the top of the fourth before giving way to pinch-runner Lexie Norfleet, who scored on an infield single by Tittle.
 
In the top of the fifth, Destiny Wright used her speed to make the score 8-2. After reaching on a bunt single, she stole second base before advancing to third on a ground out. She then stole home to give UNA the six-run lead.
 
The three-run sixth inning put the game out of reach. UNA scored on an error and also got RBI-singles by Nelson and Hannah Shollenberger to take an 11-2 lead. The Bulldogs added a run in the bottom of the frame but could get no closer.
 
Sanders finished 2-for-3 at the plate while Nelson, Shollenberger and Wright each went 2-for-4.
 
UNA will host Christian Brothers next weekend in the final home series of the season. The two team will play a double-header on Saturday followed by a single game on Sunday. Senior Day activities will take place between games on Saturday.
