Softball Seniors End Home Stand on a High Note

TROY, Alabama – The Troy softball team captured a 4-1 victory Sunday in the Sun Belt Conference series finale against Georgia Southern at the Troy Softball Complex on Senior Day.
Senior Day was full of excitement as all seven seniors started and contributed to get the win. Kate Benton picked up her 38th stolen base of the season to break Tara Michel's single-season Troy record. Additionally, Leah Brundidge earned her first career start and picked up her first career hit in the game.
The Trojans (28-19, 9-9 Sun Belt) came out of the gate swinging and plated three runs in the first inning. Georgia Southern starting pitcher Dixie Raley walked home Troy's first two runs as she issued free passes to Khadija Neely and Ashley Rainey with the bases loaded. Brundidge stepped to the plate next and blistered a ball through the left side to score Meg Willis and make the score 3-0.
Troy's final run of the game came in the fifth inning when Amanda Winters hit a solo shot to right center to extend the Trojans' lead out to 4-1.
Despite having seven hits on the day, Georgia Southern (27-21, 11-7 Sun Belt) could only push one run across the plate.
The Eagles' lone run came in the fourth inning when Morgan Robinson singled to right field and brought Emily Snider around for the score.
Ashley Rainey (15-13) picked up the win in the circle in her last game at the Troy Softball Complex. She pitched a complete game and gave up only one run. Raley (20-10) suffered the loss for the Eagles as she allowed four runs on five hits and recorded five strikeouts in six inning of work.
The Trojans are back in action next weekend as they travel to Arlington, Texas to take on UT Arlington in a three-game Sun Belt series. A doubleheader is slated for Saturday and set to begin at 1 p.m. and the series finale is scheduled for 12 p.m. on Sunday.
