HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Solid pitching kept the game scoreless through the first three innings.   
  • In the top of the fourth inning, Jordan Jones singled through the right side for the first hit of the game and give Delta State its first baserunner. Mari Alex Sandridge singled to left field, and Jones advanced to third. But Madison Zoeller flied out to end the inning.  
  • In the bottom of the fourth, the Chargers finally broke the silence. Ashley Cornell smashed a three-run bomb over the left centerfield wall to give the Chargers a 3-0 lead.
  • The Chargers loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth. Brooke Miller singled to right field, and Erin Jewell doubled. Shannon Long was hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Jada Hayes. Hayes drew a bases loaded walk, and the Chargers took a 4-0 lead. Bailie Springfield was called from the bullpen to replace Sandridge in the circle. She pitched out of the bases loaded jam, but the damage was done.
  • Madison Zoeller hit a two-out double to center in the top of the seventh, but Colben Patin struck out to end the game.
  • Taylor Tucker (2-3) suffered the loss. In four innings, Tucker allowed three runs, all earned on two hits. She struck-out one, but walked five. Sandridge allowed one earned run on two hits. Springfield struck out two and did not give up a hit.
