Box Score

BIRMINGHAM – The UAB Softball team (20-23, 8-10) beat in-state opponent Troy (27-20, 6-9) 9-8 Tuesday night at Mary Bowers Field.

UAB gave up three total home runs including two in the first inning. Makaley Boswell and Cassidy Boltz both hit home runs in the first to give Troy a 3-0 lead. Hannah Dorsett cut into that lead, scoring on an error by the Trojans.

UAB continued their scoring in the second inning and took their first lead of the game. Hannah Miles, Hope Tucker, and Lindsey Smith all hit RBI singles to score another four runs. When Tucker hit the single to center field, the throw into third base was errant and Dorssett also scored. UAB led 5-3 after two innings.

Troy tied the game in the third inning when Taylor McKinney hit a home run to right field. The Blazers left the bases loaded in the bottom of the inning.

Both teams went out in order in the fourth inning keeping the score at 5-5. Troy took the lead once again in the fifth inning 7-5, but for only a short time. UAB exploded for a four run fifth inning on just two hits. Britt Bourgoyne hit a single to score Kailey Collett who was pinch running, and Auburn Dupree scored on a fielder's choice. UAB led 9-7 after five.

Troy singled in the sixth to start things off, and Motes came around to score on a Boswell single. Caitlin Russell and the Blazer defence put the Trojans out in order in the seventh to secure the win. This is the first time UAB has beaten Troy since 2018, and Troy was on a three-game win streak.

The Blazers are back in action on Thursday in Denton, TX for a conference battle against North Texas. The Games are set for Thursday-Saturday because of Easter.
