Lauren Burns went 3-for-3 and provided the game-winning RBI with a walk with the bases loaded in the eighth inning as Sam Houston State rallied for a 4-3 victory over UTSA to sweep a Southland Conference softball series with the Roadrunners.
Morgan Mikulin (7-9) picked up her fifth pitching victory in five games this week as she threw the final three innings. The senior from Huntsville got both wins in a non-conference doubleheader against Monmouth University Wednesday and was the winning pitcher in all three victories over UTSA.
An RBI double by Callie Wood gave Sam Houston a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. UTSA tied the contest 1-1 as Ashley Kappler doubled down the line to score a run.
The Roadrunners appeared headed for a victory with two runs in the top of the eighth, but Sam Houston came back to score three in the bottom of the inning for the victory. Wood, who went 2-for-3 for the day, picked up her second RBI with a walk. Ashley Isbell singled to score another run and losing pitcher Danye Holmes walked in the winning run.
All three games on the weekend were one-run victories for the Bearkats. The day before, SHSU took both sides of a double header, winning the first 2-1 and the second 5-4.
