4/23/2021 6:49:00 PM | Softball
GREENVILLE, N.C. – Chenise Delce led the Hurricane from the circle and the plate, as Tulsa defeated the ECU Pirates 3-0 and 7-0 in a series opening double-header Friday afternoon at the Max R. Joyner Family Stadium.
On the day Delce went 2-4 from the plate driving in two runs while drawing 3 walks. In the circle, the sophomore picked up her 5th win of the season throwing a complete game shut-out in the Hurricane's 3-0 victory. In the shutout, Delce threw a career-high 13 strikeouts while allowing just one hit.
Aubree Seaney's batt was vital for the Hurricane in the opening day wins, as the first baseman went 4-8 on the day, driving in two of TU's 10 runs.
Tulsa used clutch hitting in the first game, as TU scored 3 runs in the final two innings to take the victory. In the top of the 6th inning, Sarah Briers singled home Imani Edwards to give the Hurricane its first lead of the game. Delce and Seaney used singles in the top of the 7th to drive in two more runs for TU.
In the second game, Tulsa started off hot, as Kylie Norwood, Haley Morgan and Alexis Perry combined to give TU an early 2-0 lead. The lead is all Samantha Pochop would need, as she picked up her 8th win of the season, throwing 6 shutout innings.
The Hurricane improved to 19-10 on the season and 10-3 in American Athletic Conference play, while the Pirated fell to 11-26 on the year and 2-12 in AAC action.
Tulsa will be back in action tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. CT for the third game of the 4-game series against the ECU Pirates at Max R. Joyner Family Stadium.
