Troy Uses Two Three-Run Innings to Down ULM

TROY, Ala. – Troy scored three runs in both the second and fifth frames to earn a 6-1 victory over visiting ULM on Saturday afternoon (March 9) at the Troy Softball Complex.
 
The Warhawks (4-19) established themselves early in the first inning as Sydney McKay opened the game with a double to left-center field. Jessie Watts followed with single through the left side of the infield, putting runners at the corners, before Jaclyn Kresta reached on a muffed throw at first to score McKay from third.
 
The Trojans answered in the second when Katie Lively and Taylor Corbett drew back-to-back two-out walks to keep the inning alive. Kayless Hussey followed by taking a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall, giving Troy a 3-1 advantage.
 
Troy maintained its two-run lead until the fifth, when Hope Hernandez worked the count to draw a leadoff walk. Two batters later, Katie Webb walked to put a pair of Trojan runners on base, setting the table for Stephanie Snyder who responded with a single up the middle, scoring Hernandez from third. Bailey Taylor followed with a single up the middle, clearing the bases for the final 6-1 margin.
 
Five Troy players had at least one hit in the contest, including Hussey (1-3) and Taylor (1-3) who combined for five RBI. Leanna Johnson was responsible for the Troy victory after tossing a complete game, four-hitter that resulted in one run with one walk and seven strikeouts.
 
Watts was the best hitter of the day for ULM, finishing 2-for-3 from the plate. Kresta was responsible for the lone ULM RBI. Jessie Watts (0-4) took the loss after allowing six runs on five hits with four walks and two strikeouts.
 
The Warhawks return to action on Friday, March 15 when they host Sun Belt Conference foe Appalachian State for a three-game series that begins at 6 p.m.
