Softball splits doubleheader with Sewanee

SEWANEE, Tenn. – The Centre softball team (13-11, 10-4 SAA) stepped back onto the field on Saturday for a doubleheader on the road, facing off against SAA-opponent Sewanee Tigers down south to try and reach double-digit conference wins in 2023. The Colonels would do just that, winning one of the two games against the Tigers with 17 combined runs.
 
GAME ONE: Sewanee 8, Centre 5
- After Izzy Rushing would lead off the game with a double in the game's first inning, freshman Emily Lammers would push her across home plate with a two-RBI home run. Lammers' home run on Saturday is her second of the season.
- Tori Chandler would push Rushing past home plate for the Louisville, Ky., native's second run in two at-bats, Candler pushing a double of her own to extend the lead to three runs.
- The Colonels wouldn't stop with just that in the third inning, Candler rounding home plate off a Sewanee errors and Searcy's ball placed in play driving in Lammers for a five-run lead.
- Sewanee would creep on the board in the fourth winning, cutting the lead to four runs.
- After a Tigers' home run would put the game within one, Sewanee would tally four runs in the sixth inning to seal the game against the Gold & White's favor. 

GAME TWO: Centre 12, Sewanee 3
- Lydia Rice would appear in the game as the Colonels' DP, shooting a single to help Centre score first with Candler reaching home plate.
- Sewanee would tie the game in the first, Rushing would repeat the team's first-inning RBI by pushing a single of her own that helped Watson get off third base.
- After the Tigers would once again tie the game in the second inning, Centre would post three-straight unanswered runs from Gregory, Watson and Searcy.
- The sixth inning would be the Gold & White's strongest inning of the day, totaling seven runs in the half-inning alone to conclude the game.
- Rice and Layne Ogle would each earn multiple-RBI hits during the sixth-inning stretch, Searcy earning her second RBI off the day off a double while Abby Duncan and Rushing each earning a single to drive in runs.
- Starting pitcher Lucy Baseheart would earn her sixth win of the season, pitching a complete game and only allowing three runs across the 28 batters faced.
