NOTABLE
- With two outs in the bottom of the third, Hayley Cruthers hit a pop fly to left field, and miscommunication led to the ball dropping. The runners on first and second were running and were both able to score.
- After throwing 5.0 innings in relief yesterday against North Alabama, VSU freshman Kathryn Carter gave up just one hit through four innings in the circle in this contest.
- After a two out walk to Jewell in the seventh, Emily Glover was able to double her home for the go-ahead run for UAH.
- VSU responded in the bottom of the seventh, scoring on a two out wild pitch.
- GSC Player of the Year Kaitlyn Bannister drove in the game-winning run with a single through the left side of the infield in the top of the eighth.
UP NEXT
