ULM (14-10, 2-1 SBC) won two of three this past weekend in its “home” series at Appalachian State; the series was moved to Boone due to persistent and heavy flooding surrounding the Monroe area.
Seniors Amye Barre and Faith Bohack each hit .500 during the three-game stretch. Barre drove in a team-high five runs which included a three-run homer and Bohack tied junior Rochelle Roberts for a team-high six hits and stole a team-best four bases.
Roberts continued her hot start to the season, hitting .462 with four of her six hits going for extra bases, highlighted by a walkoff solo homer in ULM's 6-5 win over the Mountaineers (March 12). Roberts has collected a hit in 20 of 24 games this season and has reached base in 21 contests.
Sophomore Paige Porter and freshman Katlynn Kaminski combined for 7.1 scoreless relief innings, scattering five hits and striking out five.
The Warhawks lead the SBC in triples (11) and stolen bases (74) largely in part of Roberts (five triples, 23 SB), freshman Sydney McKay (two triples, 16 SB), Bohack (10 SB) and Sidney Coy (10 SB). As of March 10, ULM is fifth in the nation in stolen bases (3.1) and third in Division I in triples per game (0.5).
While ULM is playing its 19th straight road game, Ole Miss (21-5, 1-2 SEC) closes out its 16-game homestand against the Warhawks. The Rebels dropped two of their three games this past weekend, ending on a 9-5 victory over Missouri, who was ranked No. 13 at the time. Ole Miss plated all nine runs in the third inning.
The Rebels host UCA tonight at 6 p.m. on SEC Network Plus.
