PITCHING DECISIONS- GAME 1
W: Kaylee Garner (19-2)
L: Emily Cudd (14-15)
 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED- GAME 1
  • A fielding error in the top of the fourth inning aided Southeastern's first run of the game as Destiny Riddle scored on Conner Harmon's batted ball.  
  • Both offenses left a combined five runners on base through the next few innings before Southern Arkansas took the lead in the bottom of the sixth, 5-1.
  • In that frame, Maddie Dow drew her third walk of the game to lead things off, Jill Roye followed with a single, and Monica Islava reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Tyler Casada wore a 1-1 pitch and plated the tying run.
  • With two outs Marina Duran pulled a 2-1 pitch in the left-centerfield gap that scored the go-ahead run along with an additional run that gave SAU the lead, 3-1. A wild pitch got past the catcher to plate another SAU run and Rachel Miller closed out the scoring in the inning with an RBI single that dropped in shallow right field.
 
 
IN THE CIRCLE
  • Starting SAU pitcher, Garner, recorded the win in the circle with five strikeouts in six innings pitched.
  • Garner allowed a lone run and three hits.
  • Roye closed out the game in the circle for SAU registering a pair of strikeouts in one inning pitched.
 
AT THE PLATE
  • Duran led the SAU offense with a pair of RBI's on one hit and a run scored.
  • Miller was 2-for-3 at the dish with an RBI.
  • Casada accounted for an RBI on a hit-by-pitch and scored a run.
  • Dow stroked a double in the first inning to register a hit and was issued three walks after.
 

 
PITCHING DECISIONS- GAME 2
W: Peyton Jenkins (2-3)
L: Destiny Riddle (3-9)
 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED- GAME 2
  • A pair of back-to-back walks issued to Goad and Dow in the first inning set up the scoring in that inning as the first run of the game scored on a throwing error to put SAU on the board, 1-0.
  • In the top of the third, the Savage Storm took the lead after a pair of runs on four hits that led to a 2-1 score.
  • The bottom of that frame quickly turned in the Lady Mulerider's favor as they regained the lead, 5-2, after scoring four runs on a pair of hits in the inning.
  • Again, Goad and Dow set the tone in that frame as both were issued a free base on a walk and hit-by-pitch. Roye's fielder's choice loaded the bases and a batter later, Islava knocked a single into left field to tie the game at 2-all. With two runners on base, Megan Godoyo connected with a 1-2 fast ball that left the yard and lifted SAU to a 5-2 advantage.
  • SAU's offense exploded in the fourth inning as they capped five runs on four hits. A bases-loaded RBI off the bat of Roye subsequently brought Islava up to the plate as she crushed the first pitch she saw over the centerfield wall in grand slam fashion, 10-2 SAU.
  • Southeastern took away the potential run-rule situation in next inning as they strung together a pair of 2-out hits that plated a pair of runs.
  • In the bottom of the sixth, Islava laced a double down the left field line, Casada singled to centerfield, and Godoyo's shallow single to right field eliminated a base runner on the play, but set up another run-rule opportunity. Duran blasted her first pitch over the right-centerfield wall and helped SAU to a 13-4 run-rule victory.
 
IN THE CIRCLE
  • Jenkins got the win for SAU in the circle as she threw 3.1 innings and allowed only a pair of runs on four hits.
  • Southeastern's Destiny Riddle took the loss in the circle after allowing 10 of SAU's 13 runs in the game.
 
AT THE PLATE
  • Islava was a catalyst for the SAU offense as she collected five RBI's and was 3-for-4 at the plate with a grand slam and three runs scored.
  • Godoyo followed with a 3-for-3 effort at the dish and three RBI's with a pair of runs scored and a homerun.
  • Duran knocked in three RBI's in the game on a homerun.
  • Roye collected an RBI and a run scored in the game.
  • Dow was 1-for-1 with a double and a pair of walks.
