EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Trevecca Nazarene University softball team (9-3) split a doubleheader with Davenport University (2-4) and McKendree University (3-3) on Friday afternoon at the Deaconess Sports Park.

HOW IT HAPPENED 
GM 1: Trevecca 11, Davenport 3 
Playing from the visitors' dugout allowed the Trojans to score a run in the top of the first inning. The first three Trojans reached, the most important of which was Anna Bennett. Bennett led the game off with a walk and later stole home to give Trevecca a 1-0 lead. The Panthers responded with a three-run bottom half of the inning before the Trevecca bats got another crack at it. With one out in the second, Malone Thrift reached on a throwing error by the shortstop that allowed two Trojans to touch home and tie the game at 3-3. With one out in the third, the Trojans added two more to the scoreboard. Annabelle Ellis plated Maddie Poschke with an RBI single to center field before Sarah Nicholson stole home for the 5-3 lead through three innings. A passed ball added one more run to the books for Trevecca in the fourth as Bennett once again scored after reaching via a base on balls. A Gracie Kirby sacrifice bunt brought in another run in the fifth before the Trojans got an RBI double from Kendall Andrews and an RBI single from Bennett to round out the scoring in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.
