HOW IT HAPPENED

GAME 1:  The Trojans NFCA All-American shortstop MaKray Odom continued to see the ball well in Huntsville. In the top of the first facing a full count, Odom singled up the middle and entered scoring position on a throwing error by the UAH catcher. After stealing third, Odom put the Trojans up 1-0 when a muffed throw from the UAH third baseman allowed her to score. The Chargers responded with an RBI double in the home half of the first to tie the game at 1-1. In the second the first three Trojans reached base safely. Brooke Eakes started things with a lead-off single then an Alyssa Triner double put two Trojans in scoring position. Matti Byrd connected for a go-ahead single to center which scored Eakes. Byrd later scored from second when Abbie Page singled up the middle to give the Trojans a 3-1 lead. A two-run home run from UAH in the bottom of the second tied it at 3-3. Neither team would score for the next three frames until the Trojans broke open the game with a three-run sixth inning. In the sixth Matti Byrd led things off with a single. Emilee Bundy pinch ran for Byrd and scored off MaKray Odom's fourth hit of the afternoon. Megan Groves brought in Abbie Page (singled) off a hit to right field and the Trojans went ahead 6-3 when Carly Sperlich doubled to left to bring in Odom. The Chargers got one run back in the bottom of the seventh, but it wasn't enough as the Trojans finished them off for a 6-4 win.
