UAB Softball Falls in Series Finale at No. 11 Arkansas
4/16/2023 4:08:00 PM | Softball
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – UAB Softball (21-21) fell in the series finale at No. 11 Arkansas (31-12) on Sunday, 6-0. The Razorbacks sweep the series, allowing only one run on the weekend.
"A series like this should help us down the road." Head Coach AJ Daugherty said, "Arkansas is a top 15 team, well-coached, and very talented. This weekend we were faced with good pitching, good hitters, and a tough environment to play in. All of that should benefit us as we look to close out C-USA-play strong. I was proud to see us apply some pressure to them through five innings in game one and again today into the fourth inning."
"We've got another opportunity to improve on Wednesday at Samford and we're excited to get back to conference-play next weekend."
Arkansas (6) UAB (0)
The Blazers' lone hit in the contest came in the first inning on a one-out double off the bat of Bella Wiggins. She was able to reach third after a wild pitch, but the Blazers could not get on the board.
Arkansas pushed the first run of the game across in the bottom of the third inning after Reagan Johnson tripled down the right field line and scored on a wild pitch. The Hogs were able to put runners on the corners with two out, but they were left stranded.
The hosts broke it open the in fourth inning. Rijo brought in the first run of the inning with a squeeze play, bringing in Foreman from third. Raigan Kramer launched a three-run home run to right field with two outs on a 2-2 count to make it a 4-0 ballgame.
Arkansas added one more in the bottom half of the fifth inning with a solo home run off the bat of Rylin Hedgecock.
