Tigers Split in Second Day of Charger Chillout

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.– The West Alabama Softball team battled hard during the second day of the UAH Charger Chillout and finished with a split against quality competition at the Metro Kiwanis Sportsplex.
 
UWA saw an early lead go by the wayside but hung tough to defeat the Georgia College Bobcats 8-7 in extra innings.
 
West Alabama took an early lead in the bottom of the first where Craft reached on a bases loaded error by the shortstop allowing Kendall Johnson to score. Then in the third, Hayes reached on a throwing error by the third baseman and Johnson scored once more. Craft followed with a single to right field to bring in Fulford to put UWA up 3-0.
 
Georgia College scored a pair of runs in the top of the fifth thanks to a Tiger error to cut it to 3-2. 
 
However, in the bottom of the fifth Mckenzie Parris hit a sacrifice fly to center field to bring in Johnson for her third run in the game. This coupled with a single from Craft to bring in Kacy Noland put UWA 5-2.
 
Ariel Edenfield doubled in the sixth to bring in two runs for the Bobcats to cut the lead to 5-4. 
 
West Alabama pushed the lead to 7-4 with a single by Noland to score Haylie Best followed by a Fulford sacrifice to bring in Lee Lee Parker.
 
The pesky Bobcats didn't go quietly with three runs in the top of the seventh to tie the contest thanks from a triple from Caroline Snider to bring in two while Snider herself was scored on a single from Haley Howell to force extra innings.
 
In the eighth, Fulford put the game to bed with a single through the right side to bring in Johnson for her fourth run in the game to give UWA the 8-7 win.
 
Carleigh Mills (2-0) picks up the win in 1.2 innings of work with a strike out. Noland started in the circle and pitched 5.2 innings with four hits and four runs allowed. Kamree Lay pitched two-thirds of an inning with two strikeouts, three hits and three runs allowed.
 
The second game didn't go the way of the Tigers, however UWA hang tough with #13 Young Harris Mountain Lions and suffered a 3-2 defeat.
 
Fulford got the West Alabama on the board early with a bunt single to bring in Johnson in the top for first.
 
However, Young Harris responded with a run in the bottom of the first and then another in the second to go up 2-1.
 
In the fifth, Noland singled to score Kierra Hague to tie the game 2-2. Young Harris scored a run in the bottom of the same inning to grab the 3-2 final advantage.
 
Nora Keehn (1-2) pitched all six defensive innings and threw two strikeouts while allowing six hits and three earned runs.
 
Kendall Johnson finished the day with five runs scored and a stolen bases while Hayes Fulford went 2-for-6 with four RBIs and a run scored.
 
West Alabama (4-5) wraps the Chillout with two games on Sunday starting with Kentucky Wesleyan at 11 a.m. followed by a meeting with West Liberty at 1 p.m.
