(Pulaski, TN) -- The Trevecca softball team (23-5, 6-4) needed
extra innings to claim two victories over TranSouth Conference
opponent Martin Methodist College (11-19, 1-5).
(Game 1) -- Martin Methodist took an early 5-0 lead into the
fifth inning before the Lady Trojans, led by senior Wendy Allen's
three run homer, climbed back with four runs in the fifth inning and
a late three run, game winning rally in the top of the final inning
to beat the Lady RedHawks 7-5. Hollie Shane picked up her 11th win
of the season and went 2 for 3 from the plate with two doubles in
the winning effort.
(Game 2) -- Trevecca grabbed the early 2-0 lead this time in the
second game thanks to more yard work from senior Wendy Allen who
launched a two run homer in the first inning. Martin Methodist tied
the game with a run in the third and sixth innings but neither team
was finished yet. In the top of the 7th inning with two outs and the
bases loaded sophomore Jami Toomey lined a three run double to take
the lead. The Lady RedHawks, however, put three runs of their own on
the board in the bottom of the seventh and the game went into extra
innings. In the top of the 8th junior Courtney Dickens laid down the
game winning bunt on a squeeze play to claim the Lady Trojan victory
6-5. Hollie Shane picked up her second win of the day and improved
to 12-3 on the season while senior Wendy Allen finished the day with
two home runs batting 5 for 8 with 5 RBIs.
