MONROE, La.-- The Southern Miss softball team (19-17, 3-11 Sun Belt) secured their first conference series sweep against ULM (21-24, 4-11 Sun Belt) in Monore, La., 2-1 Sunday afternoon.Â
Maria Smith stepped up to the plate firing in the first when she singled to center field on the first pitch; however, Hannah Borden flew out to right field, Lorna Agren grounded out to first base, and Jana Lee soon followed by grounding out to shortstop, leaving Smith stranded. However, Southern Miss scored just one inning later when Natalie Taylor doubled to left center, was followed by Scout Jennings, and her triple to right field scored Taylor. In order to bring Jennings home, Caroline Worrell singled to third base.Â
The Warhawks' response came in the bottom of the fifth after designated player Maddie Nicholls singled through the left side of the infield, right fielder Korie Kreps doubled to right center, and second baseman Alexis Chavez hit a sacrifice fly, ULM was able to pull one run behind the Golden Eagles.Â
Maria Smith singled and bunted her way to go 3-2 at the plate. Sophomore Scout Jennings recorded her third career triple. Morgan Leinstock (10-11) issued one walk in the circle and sent three Warhawks out of the batter's box.Â
