TROY, Ala. – Following a historic 2-0 win over Auburn on Wednesday night, the Troy softball team welcomes ULM for the final home series of the season. The Trojans (30-17, 8-10 SBC) carry a five-game win streak into a series with the Warhawks (32-18, 14-4 SBC), who are second in the Sun Belt Conference standings.
The Trojans are fresh off two more midweek wins over Auburn and Florida A&M, marking the first time in program history the team has finished a season undefeated in midweek games. Ella Cunningham fueled the Trojans with six scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's win over the Tigers, while Makaley Boswell hit two doubles in Tuesday's 9-0 win at Florida A&M.
On Wednesday, 1,632 fans flowed into the Troy Softball Complex – it was the highest-attended win in program history and the seventh-largest crowd at the facility. The home crowd will get to see seniors Megan Loftis and Esmee Ames celebrated on Sunday's senior day festivities.
