Clark pitches Badgers to DH sweep of UMobile
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Sophomore right-hander Danielle Clark pitched the Spring Hill College (SHC) softball team to a pair of non-conference victories by the scores of 3-0 and 2-1 over its arch-rivals the University of Mobile (UM) Lady Rams at Murray Field on Wednesday afternoon.
 
In the opening game, Clark (3-2) pitched her second career no-hitter and missed a perfect game by just a 1st-inning hit batter and a 5th-inning infield error while striking out four UM batters.
 
Junior Carmen Byrd put the Badgers up 1-0 in the 4th inning with a double to left that brought in freshman Sarah Johnson from 3rd base. SHC scored two more in the 5th frame when sophomore Madeline Burchell scored on a throwing error by the UM catcher and Johnson later maintained an intentional run down between 1st and 2nd bases long enough to bring in fellow freshman Bayleigh Anders from 3rd base before the third out tag was applied.
 
The second game saw the Badgers and Lady Rams (4-2) head to an extra inning after seven scoreless frames of play. In the top of the 8th inning, the Lady Rams broke the ice when Clark uncorked a wild pitch to plate a runner from 3rd base, but the Badgers answered right back in the next half inning. Johnson would score the tying run from 2nd base when junior Rene Kausin's sacrifice bunt was booted by the Mobile infield and sophomore catcher Kali Clement would end the game with a bases-loaded single to right to score Kausin from 3rd base.
 
Clark picked up the win in three hitless innings of relief work for freshman starter Baylie Doiron who allowed three hits with a walk and a strikeout in her first collegiate start.
 
At the plate, Clement enjoyed a 4-for-5 day with an RBI while Kausin had two hits with a run scored and Johnson also collect two hits and a run scored.
 
Spring Hill (3-3) will next visit Montgomery to play the Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) Warhawks in a non-conference game on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.
