MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Centre softball fell by scores of 6-1 and 2-0 Saturday at Huntingdon, beginning the season at Lucinda Samford Cannon Field.
The Colonels (0-2) totaled seven hits throughout the day against the Hawks (2-0), highlighted by a homerun from
Lydia Rice in the opener.
GAME ONE: Huntingdon 6, Centre 1
- The Hawks got on the board with runs in the first and second innings, though Centre starter
Lucy Baseheart stranded a pair of runners in each frame to limit the damage.
- Huntingdon broke the game open with a four-spot in the third.
- Centre struggled to piece together baserunners, as hits from
Kaylen Storms and
Brylin Isaacs went without support.
- In the top of the seventh, Rice came on to pinch-hit for
Andrea Searcy, and the sophomore sent a 2-2 pitch over the left field fence for her first career homer. It proved to be Centre's lone run in the loss.
GAME TWO: Huntingdon 2, Centre 0
- The two sides traded zeroes until the bottom of the third inning, when the Hawks pushed two unearned runs across.
- A second-inning double from
Abby Duncan was the only hit the Colonels managed against Huntingdon starter Crimson Wells, who faced one above the minimum.

Kaylee Gregory went 4.1 innings, allowing four hits while striking out two. Searcy went the last 1.2 and allowed just one baserunner.
