Tulsa Softball Drops Series Opener to Charlotte
4/4/2025 9:54:00 PM | Softball
Second game of doubleheader postponed
TULSA, Okla. – The Golden Hurricane softball team was shutout for the first time in conference play and first time since March 2 in a 6-0 loss to Charlotte in the first game of the American Athletic Conference series at the Collins Family Softball Complex on Friday evening.
With inclement weather due over the weekend, there was a plan to get a second game in upon the completion of game one, but it was postponed following the final out. Tulsa will continue to monitor the weather and make decisions on the final two games of the series. Please check back to TulsaHurricane.com or Tulsa Hurricane social media pages for further updated schedule information.
Tulsa fell to 18-19 on the season and 6-7 in The American. It's TU's first time under .500 in league play and overall since Feb. 25. Charlotte improved to 18-21 and 6-7 in the conference. The 49ers have won four straight in the series against Tulsa, their only four wins against the Hurricane ever.
Neither team scored until the fourth inning when Charlotte hit a solo home run to break the deadlock. The Niners added a run in the fifth and a grand slam in the sixth to blow the game open.
Tulsa was held to just three hits in the loss. Two of them came from senior shortstop Maci Cole. Freshman left fielder Whitney Holcomb had the other hit for the Hurricane. Celeste Wood was walked twice and was hit by a pitch once, getting on base in every appearance.
Maura Moore (12-9) got the start and loss, throwing 5.2 innings and getting tagged for four runs, all earned, on eight hits. She struck out four and walked three. Moore allowed a solo home run and a run in the fifth, and she had two on when she departed. Alexa Hopkins tossed the other 1.1 innings and was responsible for two runs and allowed two hits, including the grand slam. She walked a batter and struck one out.
