UNA SOFTBALL DOWNS UNF 3-1 FOR FIRST ASUN WIN

FLORENCE – The University of North Alabama softball team rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to record a 3-1 home win over North Florida on Sunday to record the program's first-ever ASUN Conference victory. Megan Garst pitched 5.2 innings in relief to get the win as the Lions improved to 15-9 on the season and 1-2 in ASUN play.
 
North Florida opened the game with back-to-back walks and later added an RBI-double by Navia Penrod to take the lead in the top of the first inning.
 
Garst (8-3) entered the game with one out in the top of the second in relief of starter Michelle Moore. She worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam by recording a pop up and a foul out. She finished the game with four strikeouts and a walk without yielding a run.
 
UNA tied the game with a single run in the bottom of the third inning. Danielle de Ruiter singled and later reached third base before Alex Brown's two-out single through the right side drove home the first run of the game for the Lions.
 
A two-run fourth inning gave North Alabama the lead for good. Chloe Kirkland opened the inning by reaching on a UNF fielding error. Pinch runner Mary Grayson Kilpatrick reached third before Hannah Shollenberger's RBI-single gave UNA its first lead of the series.
 
Harley Stokes also singled before scoring on a single to left field by de Ruiter to give the Lions a 3-1 lead.
 
North Florida (19-10 overall, 2-1 ASUN) loaded the bases in the top of the fifth and also had base runners in the sixth and seventh innings. The Ospreys stranded 10 runners on the day.
 
UNA had 10 hits for the game. Lexie Harper, de Ruiter and Shollenberger each went 2-for-3 at the plate. Brown was 2-for-2 with an RBI.
 
UNA will play a single game at Troy on Wednesday before returning to ASUN play over the weekend at Stetson. The Hatters will host a double-header Saturday, followed by a single game on Sunday.
