Game 1

LCU Highlights:
Turning Point:
Down to their last own and the tying run at third base, Angela Donaldson beat out an infield single to score the tying run in the bottom of the seventh inning.

How it Happened:
  • LCU jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the game. Addi Lewis hit a two-out single to score Savannah Wysocki (reached on leadoff walk) in the first inning. Solo home runs from Muniz and Gibbs led to a two-run second inning for the 3-0 lead.
  • Cameron scored a run in the fourth inning and followed with a three-run sixth inning to take a 4-3 lead. Brenna Busby led off the sixth inning with a double and scored on a runner's fielders choice, as an infield single by Mikayla Richmond led to Busby breaking from third base on her own and scoring. Khmari Edwards singled in Richmond and would later score on a sacrifice fly (by Breley Webb) to cap the three-run inning.
  • Wysocki hit a one-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning for LCU, and advanced to third base with a two-out single by Makemson. Down to their final out to a second straight batter, Donaldson hit a slow chopper and was able to beat out the throw from shortstop, tying the game at 4-4.
  • Muniz doubled in the eighth inning and scored on a single to right field by Alivia Villarreal. 
 
Inside the Numbers:
  • Taylor Franco had the 8.0-inning complete game victory (her eighth complete game of the season) for the Lady Chaps, striking out eight batters in the process (no walks). Friday (against Oklahoma Christian), she forced 17 groundouts and two fly-outs, and Sunday she forced 13 groundouts and three fly-outs. The win places her with a 7-2 record on the season.
  • LCU, going 4-0 last season in extra-inning contests, wins their first extra-inning affair of the season, and it was their first walk-off win (non run-rule walk-off) since Mar. 8, 2020 (against St. Mary's, which was LCU's final game before the COVID-19 shutdown).
  • Muniz's 4-for-4 is a career high (four hits) and she is the second Lady Chap to have four hits in a game this season (Wysocki had four hits against Colo. Colorado Springs on Feb. 21).
  • Gibbs was appearing in her first game since a Feb. 5 hand injury and hit a home run on her first at-bat since the incident for her first collegiate home run for the freshman. She is the seventh different Lady Chaps member to homer this season.
  • LCU was 3-for-6 in RBI opportunities, 6-for-17 with runners on base and 5-for-12 in two-out bats. Angela Donaldson was 2-for-2 in two-out at-bats (1-for-1 with runners in scoring position).
 
Game 2

LCU Highlights:
Turning Point:
Trailing 6-0, LCU made a pitching change in the third inning, with Maxine Valdez coming out of the bullpen. She struck out the side to start the first of an eventual five innings.

How it Happened:
  • Cameron opened the game with the first four batters reaching, with the fourth batter (Callie Christensen) hitting a three-run home run for a 4-0 lead. The Aggies made it 6-0 in the second inning, with Haley Castle leading off the inning with a solo shot and Edwards hitting a two-out RBI-single.
  • LCU had a trio of hits in the bottom of the second inning, with Wysocki hitting a two-out double to score LCU's first run. The Lady Chaps added a run in the fourth (Kamryn Gibbs two-out single to score Tyla Lee, who was aboard on a leadoff single) and sixth inning (two-out solo homer by Muniz) to cut the deficit to 6-3 through six innings.
  • Wysocki's second double came with one out in the seventh inning. Brooke Makemson hit an infield single, and Wysocki scored from second base on a runners fielder's choice. The run, cutting the deficit to 6-4, brought up Angela Donaldson the plate representing the tying run. The Aggies were able to record the out to avoid a second consecutive LCU comeback.

Inside the Numbers:
  • Muniz's home run marked her third home run of the season and the fourth of her LCU career.
  • Valdez faced two batters over the minimum in 5.0 innings pitched, as two batters reached on walks.
  • LCU was 1-for-7 in getting the leadoff batter aboard.
  • Wysocki matched a career high with two doubles hit in the same game, marking the third time she has done it in her career.
  • For the first time this season, LCU did not obtain a bases-on-balls (walk) in the game.
  • Cameron's two home runs marked the first time this season LCU allowed more than one home run in a game.
  • The Lady Chaps and Aggies moved to 3-3 all-time against each other in the series.
 
Up Next:
LCU heads on the road Friday and faces West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas, with a 4 p.m. first pitch.
