UE back home for final home series next weekend
PEORIA, Ill. – Three runs in both the second and third innings saw Bradley take the early lead before finishing with an 8-0 win over the University of Evansville softball team on Sunday at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex.
Jess Willsey opened the top of the second with a double, however, three strikeouts ended the threat. It would turn out to be the lone hit of the game for the Purple Aces. The Braves got on the board with three runs in the second before plating three runs in the third. The big hit came off the bat Sydney Kennedy, who hit a 2-run double.
Keghan Pye reached on a walk in the third before stealing second but was stranded to complete the inning. Eliza Piggott reached via a walk in the fourth. In the fifth, Bradley put the finishing touches on the win, scoring twice to take the victory.
Grace Hollingsworth made the start and went two innings with six earned runs scoring. Cassidy Gall threw the final 2 2/3 with two runs coming home.
Next weekend, the Aces wrap up the regular season home slate with a 3-game series against Southern Illinois.
