• Brianna Alston logged hits in exactly half of her at-bats, singling three times in six attempts as well as a steal.

• Ashlyn Matthews came out of the bullpen against JSU and shut them down, shutting them out from any earned runs (one run total) with a punchout.

•  Morgan Gutierrez spent 1.1 innings on the mound, tallying three of her four outs via strike three.

• Jaylon Davis only contributed one hit on the afternoon, but it went for extra bases as she smacked a double to go along with a free pass.

• Other contributors for the Green and White included Keisha White with a walk, stolen base and a run, Naomi Drake with a hit and both Breeauna Troup plus Shelby Carson earning walks.

Coach Buckner’s ladies will take a slightly longer bus ride to Hattiesburg next weekend to compete in the Black & Gold Invitational, beginning with the host Lady Eagles on Friday at 7 p.m.
