TULSA, Okla. — Sarah Briers went 3-for-3 with an RBI and Haley Meinen hit two doubles as Tulsa claimed a series win with a 4-1 victory over ECU on Friday night at Collins Family Softball Complex.
Samantha Pochop improved to 7-5 in the circle with one run allowed on three hits over four innings to go along with five strikeouts for the Golden Hurricane (21-14, 2-3). Emily Watson finished off the game with three scoreless innings to pick up her first save of the season.
Meanwhile, Julia Hollingsworth also helped fuel the offense with a pair of hits and a run scored as TU plated all four of its runs in the bottom of the third.
The Pirates (15-20, 1-4) jumped ahead with a run in the top of the first off of two hits and an error.
TU was unable to score after putting two runners in scoring position in the bottom of the second, but the Hurricane broke through with its game-deciding four-run inning in the third.
Mikayla Whitten and Hollingsworth singled to start the frame before Morgan Neal tied the score with an RBI grounder. Shelby Estocado then put Tulsa ahead for good with a double to right field that plated Hollingsworth.
An ECU error brought another run home and Meinen scored on Briers' hit after her second double of the night.
After recording a perfect top of the fourth, Pochop gave way to Watson and the senior scattered three hits over her three innings and tallied four strikeouts to close out the 4-1 contest.
Tulsa will go for the series sweep of the Pirates when the teams meet again at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Following the game, there will be an egg hunt in the outfield and children 13-and-under are welcome to run the bases.
