Troy Downs Belmont in Day Two of the Trojan Classic
2/13/2021 7:22:00 PM | Softball
TROY, Ala. – The Trojans came from behind in the bottom of the fourth inning to down the Belmont Bruins, 3-1, to remain unscathed in the Trojan Classic Saturday at the Troy Softball Complex.
Troy (3-0) answered a one-run deficit in the bottom half of the fourth inning to earn their first 3-0 start since the 2018 season.
The contest was a pitchers' duel through the first three innings. Troy's Libby Baker sat down five of the nine batters she faced to open up the matchup.
In the top of the fourth inning, Belmont (0-2) utilized a walk and a trio of singles to plate the first run of the game.
In the bottom half of the inning, Katie Webb singled to center field to kick start the offense. Kelly Horne and Katie Lively got on with a hit by pitch and walk to load the bases for Mia Jenkins. Jenkins took a hit by pitch to score Webb and even the game at one.
Leanna Johnson (2-0) entered the circle for the Trojans in the top half of fifth and retired the side bringing Troy's offense back to the plate.
Logan Calhoun led off the fifth with a single up the middle. A single through the right side put two on for Troy's cleanup hitter, Webb.
Webb smashed a double to deep center scoring Calhoun and Jade Sinness giving Troy the lead once and for all.
Johnson retired six of the final seven batters of the matchup to secure her second win of the season.
Quotable – Head Coach Beth Mullins
"I think it was a really gritty win for the team. We didn't have as many quality at-bats as we did yesterday, but our pitching and defense picked our offense up with a really solid outing."
