TROY, Alabama – Leanna Johnson pitched a one-hitter through five innings of work to down ULM, 8-0, before Troy fell to the Warhawks in the nightcap, 4-1, on Friday at the Troy Softball Complex.

Katie Webb and Taylor Corbett led the offensive efforts in game one with each recording a pair of RBIs while Stephanie Snyder and Katie Lively both hit their first long balls of the season.

"It was the tale of two games; I thought we had great pitching, defense and timely hitting in the first game, but didn't in the second," head coach Beth Mullins said. "We are going to have to shake it off and get prepared for game three tomorrow."

Game One: Troy 8, ULM 0

Leanna Johnson (11-4) sat down five batters and allowed just one hit to give Troy (17-8) its first win in conference play. Johnson and the Trojan defense allowed just one base runner throughout the game.

A lead off solo shot by Stephanie Snyder in the bottom of the second inning started a rally and gave Troy the lead once and for all.

Back-to-back singles by Hope Hernandez and Madelyn Porter plated Allie Miller who pinch ran for Kelly Horne after drawing a walk. Taylor Corbett cleared the bases with a single up the middle and was later scored with a double by Katie Webb to cap off Troy's monster five-run inning.

Porter hit a walk off single through the left side after a double by Snyder and singles by Horne, Kaylee Hussey, and Hope Hernandez plated two runs.

Karly Taranto (0-4) suffered the loss for the Warhawks (4-18) after giving up the home run, a walk, and hit two batters.

Game Two: ULM 4, Troy 1

ULM's sticks came alive in the second game of the double header after scoring four runs off of eight hits.

ULM struck first in the top of the second when Jayden Mount hit a home run over the left center wall.

Katie Lively answered with a long ball of her own to tie the game in the bottom of the second.

The Warhawks regained the lead in the top of third when Brie Wrobel hit a double to left center that score Jaclyn Kresta who got on after being hit by a pitch.

ULM's win was capped off in the top of the sixth after adding a pair of runs off hits by Korie Kreps, Sydney McKay, and Jessie Watts.

Adrianna Chavarria (2-4) picked up her second win of the season after scattering five hits and sitting down four batters while Annie Willis (5-4) suffered the loss after allowing six hits, two walks, and hitting two batters.

Troy looks to bounce back in the series finale against ULM tomorrow at 1 p.m. at the Troy Softball Complex.
