TROY, Ala. – The Troy Softball team will travel up I-65 for a Wednesday midweek tilt with Samford. Due to inclement weather in the Birmingham area, game times for the doubleheader have been shifted to 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Â
The Trojans (20-9, 6-3 Sun Belt) are hot off a third consecutive Sun Belt series win after downing Georgia Southern in two of three games last weekend.
Â
Anslee Finch boasted an impressive weekend, batting .556 with six RBIs on the week. The sophomore recorded five RBIs on Friday and went 3-for-3 at the plate Saturday.
Â
Leanna Johnson continues to lead the way in the circle with a 1.63 ERA over 111.1 innings of work. The junior has fanned 164 batters, the fifth-best mark in the nation.
Â
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS:
Samford (15-14) checks into the midweek after dropping both games of a doubleheader to Mississippi State.
Â
Mary Katherine Tedder leads the Samford offense, batting at a .369 clip with 11 doubles, a pair of triples and four home runs.
Â
In the circle, McKenzie Newcomb paces the way with a 2.29 ERA over 106.0 innings of work.
