Softball Drops Final Game Versus FIU
3/13/2022 1:52:00β―PM | Softball
MIAMI-Β The UAB softball team fell 1-0 Sunday morning in the final game of a three-game series versus FIU.Β
Β
The Blazers (14-10, 2-1) played solid defense and pitched well all game long, but were unable to get things going at bat, and ultimately got shut out.
Β
UAB went three up-three down in its first turn at bat, and so did FIU (15-12, 1-2). The Blazers didn't get a hit in the second inning, and FIU got a runner across home plate in the bottom of the second, recording the game's only run.Β
Β
UAB got a runner on base in the top of the third, but Lauren Brock was caught stealing at second to end the scoring opportunity.Β
Β
The offensive deadlock continued through the next three innings, with neither team able to get anyone home.Β
Β
The Blazers had their best opportunity to score in the top of the sixth, when Bella Wiggins got on base with a single, Tyler Armistead walked, and Faith Hegh reached on a single. Despite the loaded bases and just one out, Wiggins was thrown out at home, and Mackenzie Droddy was grounded out to end the Blazer's chance at bat.Β
Β
The Panthers fought hard to add to the lead in the bottom of the sixth, but the Blazer defense remained strong, and prevented any runs despite a triple from FIU.Β
Β
UAB had one final chance to score in the top of the seventh, but couldn't get home, despite getting two runners on base with a Jolie Readeaux single, and an error by FIU.Β
Β
Sarah Cespedes (7-2) was given the loss despite a performance that saw her strikeout five FIU batters and allow only one run over 4.2 innings pitched.Β
Β
UAB will play Colgate at 6:00 p.m. this Tuesday at Mary Bowers Field. This game is Taco Tuesday, when fans can receive free walking tacos while supplies last. It is also $2 Tuesday, when all tickets are $2. This offer cannot be pre-purchased.Β
