DENTON, TX – The UAB Softball team (20-26, 8-13) lost both games of a double header at North Texas (33-14, 15-6). UAB hit the ball well in both games but fell short 5-4 and 4-3.

GAME 1
North Texas started the first with a pair of strikeouts to retire the side. Hope Tucker put the Blazers ahead in the top of the second inning when she scored on an Ashlyn Shirah double.

Britt Bourgoyne started us off in the third inning with a single followed by a Dorsett bunt single. Hannah Miles then scored Bourgoyne on an RBI groundout and captured her 30 RBI of the season. UAB continued in the fourth inning with another run on a North Texas error. UAB led 3-0 at the middle of the fourth inning.

North Texas put together a four run fourth inning to take the lead away from UAB, which they also did in the first game. Madison Conley hit her third home run of the series for two of the four runs. A sure out at home was then dropped by UAB on a bases loaded fielding error. The last run of the inning scored on an RBI groundout. This was the first lead of the game for UNT.

Ashlyn Shirah tied the game up in the sixth inning to continue her positive weekend hitting the ball. The lead did not last long because of a sacrifice fly in the next inning to give UNT the lead back. The game ended at 5-4 with both teams finishing with five hits and UAB leaving seven on base.

GAME 2
Caitlin Russell made her second start all season in game two of the double header. A two spot in the first inning by North Texas, confirmed that all three games would see first inning runs. Conley doubled to left center to score those two runs.

Wiggins answered the call in the third inning driving in Bourgoyne and Makenzie Droddy. This established a lead that UAB would not give up until the fifth inning. Dorsett was also able to score in the inning on a sacrifice fly by Hannah Miles. UAB led 3-2.

North Texas took a lead that they would not relinquish in the fifth inning scoring two runs on another Conley double. Blayze McNemar hit a single to score another in the sixth and the other McNemar sister (Riley) put the nail in the coffin with a double down the left field line.

North Texas has 18 comeback wins this season which is tied for second in the country. The Mean Green won all three games over UAB in comeback fashion.

The Blazers are back on the road on Wednesday night for a double header at West Georgia starting at 3:00 p.m.
