TROY, Alabama – The Troy softball team (15-16, 3-3 SBC) will continue conference play as it travels east to Conway, S.C., to face Coastal Carolina for a three game weekend series. Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled for 12 and 2 p.m., and Sunday's finale will begin at 11 a.m. CT.
Â
Troy narrowly fell 3-2 in an in-state match up with UAB on Tuesday night at the Troy Softball Complex. The Trojans held on to a 2-0 lead until the top of the seventh when the Blazers scored three timely runs that Troy could not find an answer to.
Â
Senior Rachel Rigney Brown threw six strong innings for Troy, but after getting in a jam with the Blazers' bats starting to heat up, Peyton Glover came in as relief.
Â
At the plate, Troy is led by Becca Hartley who has a .351 batting average. She leads the team with 10 home runs, 26 RBIs, 29 runs and a slugging percentage of .755. Stephanie Snyder has hit three home runs this season, two were walk-offs including her home run to win the final game and series over Georgia State.
Â
Coastal Carolina (21-7, 1-4 SBC) is in its first year in the Sun Belt. The Chanticleers were previously members of the Big South Conference. Coastal is coming off of a conference series loss to South Alabama, who won two of the three games. Taty Forbes leads the Chanticleers with a .468 batting average and has posted 37 hits in 79 at-bats.
