Final Stats

RUSTON, La. - A two-out sixth inning home run from Zoe Bacon gave UTSA a 3-1 victory over Louisiana Tech on Sunday afternoon at the Lady Techster Softball Complex.

Bailey Allen and Preslee Gallaway both built on their success from yesterday, as the duo combined to pitch 4.2 innings in relief, while allowing just three hits and no earned runs.

LA Tech got off to a quick start in the first inning, as Morgan Turkoly laced a two-out single up the middle to bring home Kristen Miles from second and give the Lady Techsters an early 1-0 lead.

After the first UTSA run of the game scored on a walk, the Roadrunners held a golden opportunity in the third inning as Madison Kinley lifted a ball to the warning track with the bases loaded and nobody. Louisiana Tech right fielder Tori Charters snagged the fly ball while crashing into the outfield fence for the final out of the inning, maintaining the 1-1 tie.

LA Tech and UTSA remained knotted at one, despite the fact that UTSA had left seven runners on base through the first three innings.

Both pitching staffs worked flawlessly through the next two innings, before the top of the sixth. After Haley Garza reached on a fielding error, Bacon, the pinch-hitter, lifted the game winning two-out, two-run home run to left center, putting the Roadrunners on top for good 3-1.

Lizzy Fox (8-9) got the win for UTSA, after tossing 7 innings and allowing just four hits and an earned run. Bailey Allen (10-6) was credited with the loss, despite not allowing an earned run through 3.2 innings pitched.

Louisiana Tech is back in action on Wednesday, April 20 when the Lady Techsters host ULM in a 6 p.m. contest at the Lady Techster Softball Complex.
