Tigers Sweep UWG in DH, Wright Throws No-Hitter in Game Two

CARROLLTON, Ga. - West Alabama's softball team claimed two Gulf South Conference wins in the doubleheader against West Georgia Saturday afternoon at University Softball Field. The Tigers won the first game 7-5 and shutout the Wolves 8-0 in the second game. 
 
"I am proud of how gritty our team played today," head coach Stephanie Defeo said. "We had timely hitting in the first game and dominated game two. Mynard threw extremely well, and Maddie Wright was phenomenal! I am so proud of our team effort today!"
 
Game One
The Tigers used seven hits to score seven runs in the 7-5 win over UWG in game one of the doubleheader. 
 
Kelsie Gilliam tallied two of the seven hits. Taylor Clegg, Ann Marie Stanbridge, Hannah Mynard, Eleanor De Block, and Kori Young each had a hit. 
 
UWG pushed two runs across the plate in the second inning, giving the Wolves the 2-0 lead. UWA responded by scoring three runs in the third inning. Stanbridge singled, scoring Gilliam. Bases were loaded, and Emily Cowart and Young were both hit by a pitch, allowing Stanbridge and LP Trammell to score. 
 
In the fifth inning, Mynard hit a home run, giving the Tigers a 4-2 lead. Stanbridge's sacrifice fly scored Sara Fargo in the fifth inning, extending the lead to 5-2.
 
The Wolves scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, tying the game at 5-5. In the seventh inning, Riley Sullivan reached first on an error by center field, allowing Young and De Block to score. The Tigers held off the Wolves in the bottom of the seventh, allowing UWA to claim the 7-5 win.

Marissa Thompson (0-1) was tagged with the loss. She gave up two earned runs on five hits and struck out two. 
 
Game Two
Madison Wright (4-2) threw a no-hitter in the 8-0 shutout in the second game of the doubleheader. Wright gave up no earned runs and struck out 11 over six innings pitched.
