St. Thomas Swipes Past Schreiner With Two Wins on Senior Day

St. Thomas Swipes Past Schreiner With Two Wins on Senior Day

Softball started its final series of the regular season against Schreiner University. After two games of SCAC action, the Celts handled the Mountaineers outscoring them 22-3. At the conclusion of game two, the St. Thomas seniors were honored. 

Game 1: UST 8 SU 0

The Celts made quick work of the Mountaineers this game as Bailey Tisdale got the start in the circle and allowed no runs in five innings of play. Jaelyn Simmons kickstarted the St. Thomas offense with a home run in the bottom of the first to put the Celts up 1-0. The damage was not done though, as Lindsey Gonzalez also went yard in the following inning with a two-run shot to left. With the score now 3-0, St. Thomas saw the opportunity to take control of the game. Hailey Jackson continued the Celts' nine-hit game with an RBI single, then Adelyn Becerra and Addison Lehew tacked on three more RBIs to make the score 7-0. With victory in sight, St. Thomas pulled out a double steal as Adelyn Becerra stole home to secure the 8-0 run-rule victory. 

Game 2: UST 14 SU 3

In game two, the Celts picked up where they left off with a 15-hit outbreak. After a scoreless first, St. Thomas broke out for four hits leading to five runs as Rebecca Archibald had a 2 RBI single up the middle as the bases were loaded. Jaelyn Simmons and Chloe Bennett followed it up driving in three more runs as the score now read 5-0 in favor of St. Thomas. In the third though, is when the Celts did the most damage. St. Thomas exploded for nine hits leading to eight runs as a Grace Coffelt RBI single capped off a stellar rally to make the score 13-0. With victory virtually secured, Schreiner tried to claw their way back in the game with a three-run shot in the top of the fourth, however starting pitcher Allison Hughes gave Schreiner all they could handle as she locked up her 12th win of the season.

After game two, the Celts' senior class of Kayleigh Deakle, Hailey Jackson, Grace Coffelt, and Bailey Tisdale were honored.

Up next, Softball wraps up its series with Schreiner tomorrow afternoon. Come out to West University Softball Association at 12 PM to support your Celts!
