Troy Wins Big on Final Day of Troy Classic
2/21/2016 6:23:00 PM | Softball
The Troy softball team finished the Troy Classic on a high note, beating the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, 6-2, on Sunday at the Troy Softball Complex.
Â
Three Trojans had multi-hit games on the night. Senior Amanda Winters and sophomore Erica Davis had two hits and senior Kate Benton had three.
Â
Freshman Claire Graves (2-0) pitched a complete game and got the win, recording 15 straight outs for the Trojans after a second-inning, two-out single. She faced 24 batters, striking out four and walking only one. She gave up two runs on two hits in seven innings of work.
Â
A monster fifth inning sealed the deal for Troy (7-3) as it scored four runs to take the lead, 6-2. Senior Hannah Day got the hits started with a single to right field. Sophomore Carli Kayler pushed runners to second and third on a sacrifice bunt.
Â
Senior Khadija Neely then walked, setting Davis up for an RBI double down the left field line scoring Ashley Rainey and Day. Benton came up hot on Davis' heels with a double of her own to center field that scored Davis and Neely.
Â
Troy's first two runs came in the third and fourth innings on a pair of singles by Winters and Davis.
Â
Tennessee Tech's two runs came in the bottom of the first inning when Alyssa Richards sent a long ball over the left field wall scoring Sabrie Neeb who was on after drawing a walk.
Â
Danielle Liberatore (1-3) suffered the loss for the Golden Eagles (3-6), giving up six runs on nine hits in a complete game.
Â
Troy travels to Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Wednesday to take on No. 5 Alabama at 5 p.m. The Trojans will then host their Trojan Warrior Tournament, which begins on Friday and ends next Sunday. Troy's first game will be against Dayton on Friday at 5 p.m.
