Fourth Inning Spark Lifts Softball Past Troy, 6-1

Eagles even the series 1-1

TROY, Ala. – A four-run fourth inning spark lifted Georgia Southern softball (26-16, 10-4 SBC) past the Troy Trojans (27-28, 6-8 SBC), 6-1, on Saturday afternoon at Troy Softball Complex. 

Troy got on the board first in the opening frame to take an early 1-0 lead. The Trojans led off the inning with a triple to right field before the Eagles picked up two quick outs but a single back up the middle plated the run. 

Georgia Southern responded in the top half of the second to even things up at 1-1. Delanie Thames and Madi Gillespie drew back-to-back singles before advancing up a base on a passed ball for Gracie Bellard to even the score on an RBI sac fly. 

With a pair of runners on in the second, Bailey Holland picked up her second strikeout of the game to get out of the jam. The Eagle offense would then jump out in front in the third when Thames tallied her second hit of the game, a base hit through the right side to make it 2-1. 

The Eagles extended its lead in the fourth scoring four runs on three hits and three Trojan miscues. Brooke Kell singled to lead off the inning before scoring on a wild pitch. Faith Barth and Thames tallied back-to-back RBI base hits to plate the final two runs of the frame for a 6-1 score. 

Bailey Holland (7-6) picked up the win in the circle tossing 4.2 innings allowing one run on six hits and tallied three strikeouts. Morgan Kendrick tossed 2.1 innings in relief and picked up three strikeouts. 

Four Eagles produced multi-hit performances including Emma Davis, Valerie Combs, Kell, and highlighted by Thames going 3-for-4 with two runs batted in and two runs scored. Kell produced her first multi-hit performance of the season.
