Troy Splits in Doubleheader Against UAB
3/31/2015 10:24:00 PM | Softball
TROY, Alabama – The Troy softball team split in a doubleheader against in-state rival UAB on Tuesday at the Troy Softball Complex, as they dropped the first game, 5-1, and won, 6-1, in the nightcap.
Â
Becca Hartley and Hannah Day both had a hit in each game, as Day went a combined 2-for-5 with a double and an RB and Hartley went 2-for-6 with a double, a home run and three RBIs.
Â
UAB 5, Troy 1
Â
UAB had dominant pitching from Megan Smith (10-4), who only gave up one earned run on four hits and stuck out three, as she picked up the win and pitched a complete game.
Â
Troy's (18-17) only run in the game came in the sixth inning thanks to Becca Hartley's seventh home run of the season, a solo shot to left center field, that tied the game at one.
Â
UAB (23-7) broke out with a four run seventh inning to go up, 5-1. The Blazers had runners on first and second with one out, but took the lead, 3-1, as they pushed two runs across as two Trojan errors occurred on the play. After the second out of the inning, Hayley Davis hit a two-run home run to left field to score the final two runs of the game.
Â
Troy was cooking with gas early as it had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the first, but could not get a run to score.
Â
Jaycee Affeldt (9-6) suffered the loss for the Trojans as she pitched seven innings, allowed five runs, one earned, on nine hits and stuck out four.
Â
Troy 6, UAB 1
Â
Troy (19-17) scored the go-ahead run in the third inning when Carli Kayler scored on a Hartley ground out to first base. Kate Benton, who advanced to third on the groundout, scored on a wild pitch to give Troy a 3-1 lead.
Â
The Trojans scored first in the bottom of the first inning when Day doubled to left center field to score Benton, who reached with a lead off single.
Â
UAB (23-8) tied the game in the third inning as SaraBeth Williamson singled up the middle to score Amy Dennis, which give the Blazers their first and only run of the game.
Â
The Trojans added to their lead in the fifth inning as Hartley hit an RBI double to center field for her third RBI of the night to make the score, 4-1. The next batter, Ashley Rainey bombed a two-RBI home run over the left center field wall to score the final two runs of the game.
Â
All of Troy's six hits came from six individual players. Benton and Kayler each had a single in the game; Day, Hartley and Khadija Neely had doubles and Rainey had the lone home run of the game.
Â
Rainey (7-3) got the win for Troy as she allowed just one earned run on seven hits and only walked one in five innings of work. Affeldt came in to pitch two innings of relief work and only gave up two hits and two walks. Affeldt struck out three, which brought her season total of strikeouts to 83.
