Game NotesÂ
TROY, Alabama – After falling to Georgia Southern by just one run in its last two games, Troy (14-8, 1-2 SBC) looks to bounce back with a midweek doubleheader against non-conference foe Southern Miss (10-16) on Thursday. Game one of the doubleheader is set for 3 p.m., and game two will begin at approximately 5 p.m.
Â
Troy enters the match up after going 1-2 in the conference opening series against Georgia Southern. The Trojans took game one 6-3, but dropped the final two games by just one run each as the Eagles claimed the series victory.
Â
The top of the lineup has been the most productive for Troy as Katie Webb, Logan Calhoun and Madeline Porter have accounted for almost half of Troy's hits (69-152) on the season. Webb leads the team with .377 average at the plate, with four home runs and .623 slugging percentage.
Â
In the circle for the Trojans, Annie Willis and Peyton Glover are both top-10 in the conference with Willis holding down the top spot with a 1.42 ERA. Through 44.1 innings of work, She has hurled 41 strikeouts, and has only allowed 10 runs this season. Glover comes in sixth with an ERA of 2.36 with a 5-1 record and 44 total strikeouts.
Â
On this date last year, Troy hosted the Golden Eagles. The game remained scoreless through six and a half innings. A base hit put a runner on for Stephanie Snyder in the bottom of the seventh. Snyder blasted a two-run shot over center field as the Trojans took the 2-0 walk-off victory.
