Offensive struggles doom Kats in sweep
3/27/2021 3:45:00 PM | Softball
CONWAY, Ark. — The Sam Houston softball team once again could not get anything going offensively as UCA completed a three-game Southland Conference series sweep with a 5-1 victory Saturday at Farris Field.
Â
The Bearkats (7-17, 4-5 SLC) only managed to score two runs in the series, the other coming in an 11-1 loss in the opener Friday.
Â
Sam Houston got off to a good start in the first inning when senior Megan McDonald singled to begin the game and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by freshman Emily Telg. Freshman Ellie Grill then ripped an RBI single to left field to make it 1-0.
Â
The Bears (19-10, 7-2) answered with three runs in the bottom half of the inning. UCA add insurance runs in the third and fifth innings.
Â
Sam Houston got a lead-off double by sophomore Kyndal Kutac to begin the seventh, but the next three batters were retired in order.
Â
Junior Sheridan Fisher led the Kats with two hits, and senior Brooke Malia also hit safely in the loss.
Â
Sam Houston returns home to host UTA Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
