Softball Drops Game Two in Charlotte
5/3/2025 2:20:00 PM | Softball
CHARLOTTE, NC – The UAB Softball team (24-29, 10-16) dropped game two against Charlotte (29-26, 16-10) 2-1 in a totally opposite game from yesterday.
A walk started off the first inning, before Dorsett hit the teams 49th sacrifice bunt of the year. The Blazers are currently in the top ten in the country in total sacrifice bunts. Caroline McLendon and the Blazers defense retired the first three batters with three pop ups. There was just one base runner through the first two innings and that was Bella Wiggins who walked.
Kari Shedrick started the scoring off with a solo home run followed by an Olivia Williams solo home run.
UAB had just the one base runner through four innings of play, but Lindsey Smith would have something to say about that. Smith hit her ninth home run of the year in the fifth inning. This cut the lead in half at 2-1.
Hannah Dorsett is still one hit away from 100 career hits. The Blazers were retired in order in the sixth down to just three outs in the seventh. Ashlyn Shirah got on base with the second hit of the game. Two more batters were retired, ending the game at 2-1.
UAB will either get the seven or the eighth seed depending on what Tulsa does against FAU.
UAB is back in action for the series finale against Charlotte tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. CT.
