Leanna Johnson's (13-5) shutout performance matched the booming offense to down the Chanticleers (23-7, 4-3 Sun Belt). Johnson sat down eight batters, scattered seven hits and only gave up one walk.
Â
The action started in the top of the third inning where Troy (19-13, 3-4) plated four runs with hits by Kaylee Chapman and Katie Webb. The scoring was capped off by a two-run home run to left center by Madeline Porter.
Â
In the top of the third, Troy added four more runs with the first scoring off of a sacrifice fly by Kelly Horne. Troy rallied with two outs to plate three runs with hits by Talia Truitt and Porter.
Â
Coastal Carolina tried to keep the game within reach with a two-run home run by Courtney Dean in the bottom of the third and a solo shot by Abbey Montoya in the bottom of the sixth, but the Chanticleers were not able to make a comeback.
Â
Kaitlin Beasley-Polko suffered the loss for Coastal Carolina after allowing eight hits, two walks, and hit three batters.
Â
Troy is back in action at 2 p.m. tomorrow afternoon in the series-clinching game at Charles Wade- John Lott Field.
