Tigers Split DH with CBU, Win Series

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – A tale of two types of games were on display for the University of West Alabama softball team as the Tigers dropped the opener of the day's doubleheader against the Christian Brothers Lady Buccaneers, 12-6, before rallying to collect a 3-2 victory in the second game and win the Gulf South Conference series Saturday at the UWA Softball Complex.

The Tigers jumped to an early lead in the contest scoring two runs in the first starting with a sacrifice fly from LP Trammell to allow Abby McKee to score. Kylie Martin followed with an RBI single up the middle as Cassie Matlock to crossed home and put UWA up 2-0.
 
CBU tied the game at 2-2 in the third with an RBI double from Memory Willingham and an RBI single from Bree Brady.
 
West Alabama regained the lead in fifth when Lexy House scored thanks to Martin getting caught between second and third base to reach the 3-2 final margin.
 
Both Martin and Peyton Coots finished the day with three hits while Martin and Kendall Johnson both collected two RBIs on the day.
 
The Lady Bucs jumped to an 2-0 in the first game as in the opening half inning Willingham singled in Ashley Dyer and later scored on a single from Elaina McGill.
 
The Tigers scratched across their first run of the day when House crossed home in the second. 
 
CBU added a run with a solo homer by Kendall Westbrooks in the third before the West Alabama comeback effort started. 
 
In the bottom of the third, Johnson collected her two RBIs off a double own the right field line that saw Kailey Hunt and Trammell score to tie the game 3-3. Peyton Coots followed with a double to left center to bring in Nicole Buccieri which gave the Tigers their first lead of the day at 4-3.
 
Christian Brothers scored a run in the fourth to re-tie the game at 4-4 with an RBI from Brady which drove in Gabby Schulttz. 
 
Trammell put UWA ahead once more in the bottom of the fourth with a double to drive in Kelsie Gilliam. Hope Mynard hit a single to left in the fifth to allow Chrissy Tubbs to score to put UWA 6-4 after five innings. 
 
However, in the seventh of the first game CBU scored eight runs capped by a grand slam from Willingham and used the big inning to seize a 12-6 win over UWA.
