STORRS, Conn. - The University of Tulsa Softball team smacked a season-high three home runs on Saturday afternoon as they defeated UConn in game two of their three-game series, 6-0. The win marks the sixth straight league win and seventh straight victory for the Hurricane (32-13 overall, 10-1 The American).
Â
Tulsa's first of their three home runs against UConn (15-25, 1-9 The American) came by way of Shannon Hughes in the second inning, a solo shot that opened up the scoring and gave Tulsa a 1-0 advantage. Hughes finished the afternoon with a two of three showing at the plate with two runs scored.
Â
Julia Hollingsworth had a multi-hit day of her own, picking up her first hit on TU's second long ball of the contest in the following inning to go ahead 2-0. Hollingsworth's home run to deep right-center field was her fourth of the season.
Â
Haley Meinen entered the game in relief of Madison Higley in the third inning to earn the win and move to 5-1 on the season as she struck out two and walked one while allowing five hits. The sophomore worked out of a pair of jams in the fifth and sixth innings, getting a double play ball that was caught by Hughes at shortstop and flipped over to Morgan Neal at second base to end the fifth before leaving two stranded in the sixth.
Â
The Hurricane provided Meinen with some cushion with a four-run sixth inning on five hits and an error to take a 6-0 lead over the Huskies. Maddie Withee leadoff the frame with a double to center field before being moved over to third base on a Tori Stafford sacrifice bunt.
Â
Rylie Spell hit Tulsa's third home run and second of the year after Meinen was hit by a pitch to put runners at the corner, clearing the bases on a three-run shot that quickly cleared the wall in left-center field.
Â
Maggie Withee singled later in the inning to extend her team-best hitting-streak to 10 games while moving her reached base streak to 17 straight contests.
Â
Tulsa will wrap up their three-game series against UConn with a chance for a sweep tomorrow at the newly scheduled game time of 10 a.m. CT.Â
