PREVIOUS MEETING
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (February 9, 2017) –
Averi Miller's two-out walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning highlighted a split on day one at the North Texas Bash in Grand Prairie at the Jennifer McFalls Softball Complex. LCU took the first game 5-4 over Texas Woman's off Miller's slam before falling to Tarleton State 12-2 in the last game of the day.
In the second game of the day, LCU jumped on top early with
Sydney Beuthien driving in
Casey Ingram in the top of the first inning. Tarleton State followed with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning. In the second inning the wheels fell off for LCU, allowing 11 runs with only one earned. The Lady Chaps added one more run in the fifth when
Averi Miller came home on a wild pitch. However, five Lady Chap errors allowing 10 unearned runs was too much to overcome.
Monique Garcia (2-1) suffered her first loss of the year going one and a third innings allowing eight hits and the two earned runs before being relieved by Eltsosie, who finished out the second inning.
Cassie Sutton pitched the final two innings for her first action in the circle this season allowing only three hits, no runs while striking out two. Kayleigh Williams (1-0) also saw her first action of the year and pitched the complete game for the TexAnns. She gave up two runs off four hits while striking out four Lady Chaps.
