MOBILE, Ala. – The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball team finished off a successful weekend trip Sunday with a 9-0 rout of Southeastern Louisiana on Sunday. With the win, the Lady Mocs wrapped up a 5-0 sweep at the South Alabama Mardi Gras Tournament and improved their season record to 7-3.
Junior pitcher Michelle Fuzzard continued her impressive return from knee surgery that sidelined her most of last season by pitching three hitless innings to earn her third win of the season, striking out two and allowing one walk.
At the plate, Fuzzard was 3-for-3 with a home run and four RBIs to improve her batting average to .310 for the year as the Lady Mocs pounded out 15 hits — including five extra-base hits — against the Lady Lions.
Sophomore second baseman Sara Poteat went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple and two RBIs, and senior center fielder Lyndsey Stiles was 3-for-5 with three runs scored.
Junior college transfer Vivian Morimoto got the start at catcher for UTC and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, and senior left fielder Lauren Flores finished her weekend with a 2-for-3 performance to boost her team-leading batting average to .421 on the year.
