Troy Softball Travels to Georgia Tech

TROY, Ala. – Riding a three-game hot streak, the Troy Softball team will travel to Georgia Tech for a Tuesday midweek tilt at Mewborn Field.

The Trojans (25-13, 11-7 Sun Belt) are fresh off their first series sweep of the season after downing Appalachian State in all three games.

Kelly Horne turned in a stellar weekend at the plate, leading the Trojans with a .800 batting average. The junior smashed her first career triple in game one of the series while also blasting her 10^th home run of the season in game three.

With her 10^th long ball, Horne moves into the top-10 of Troy's single-season home run records at 10^th.

Leanna Johnson picked up a pair of wins in the series. The Trojan ace hurled a one-hit shutout in game one and turned in 6.2 shutout innings in game two to pick up two wins.

On the season, Johnson boasts a 1.91 ERA with 201 strikeouts over 150.1 innings of work.

SCOUTING THE YELLOW JACKETS:
Similar to the Trojans, Georgia Tech (31-12, 11-10 ACC) enters the midweek also riding a four-game win streak.

Emma Kauf paces the Yellow Jacket offense, batting at a .391 mark with 18 doubles, a pair of triples, six home runs and 27 RBIs.
