Softball

Raiders defeat Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Behind a strong pitching effort from Ally Russell, the Wright State softball team closed out play in the Chattanooga Spring Classic, Sunday with a 3-1 victory over the host Mocs.

The Raiders took a 1-0 lead with a run in the second. Becka Peterson led off with a single to right center and pinch-runner Rachael Oakley advanced to second on a passed ball. One out later, Libby Pfeffer delivered a hit to left center to plate Oakley.

Chattanooga, though, tied it with a run of its own in the bottom of the second and it stayed that way until WSU broke the deadlock with a run. With one out, Hanna Floyd singled to left and moved up to third as Vivi Marquez had a hit and advanced to second on an error. After Peterson walked to load the bases, a fielder’s choice off the bat of Macey Gunther drove in Floyd with the go-ahead run.

Wright State then tacked on an insurance run in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Savanna Brown started the two-out rally with a walk and pinch-runner Ashton Salyers went to second on a passed ball and to third as Honnah Susor reached on an error. Floyd then singled through the left side to knock in Salyers.

Russell took over from there as the freshman picked up her first college win, retiring 16 of the final 17 batters she faced, with the only baserunner reaching on an error. Overall, Russell gave up three hits and two walks while striking out two.

Offensively, Floyd finished with three hits while Marquez and Russell each had two.

Wright State (4-6) heads to Birmingham, Alabama, next weekend for the Samford Tournament. The Raiders will take on Tennessee Tech (11 a.m. Eastern) and Samford (1:30 p.m.) on Saturday, February 27, and will face the same two teams on Sunday, February 28.
