Despite Fourth Inning Rally, UTA Drops Game One Against Louisiana

ARLINGTON, Texas – Despite a fourth inning rally, the UT Arlington softball team came up short 9-6 in game one against No. 15 Louisiana.

UTA plated five runs across throughout the game off three Cajun errors and wild pitches before catcher Sophie Wideman's two-out RBI scored senior third baseman KJ Murphy for the Mavericks' sixth run.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

Senior outfielder Madison Miller led the team with two hits in the contest while Jadyn Erickson, Sophie Wideman, Aileen Garcia and Jessica Carreon all recorded one.

Junior Laura Henriksen got her fourth start on the mound for the Mavericks and threw three innings allowing four runs off six hits. The California native was replaced by freshman Gracie Bumpurs who went on to face just eight batters and allowed three runs.

Allie Gardiner made an appearance in the fifth inning to throw the remainder of the game and allowed just two runs across 11 batters.

The Mavericks couldn't find a way to scratch giving Henriksen the loss.

PLAY BY PLAY
  • Louisiana grabbed an early 3-0 lead in their first at-bats from a base-hit and a two-run home run before they scratched one more off a solo home run.
  • UTA stranded four runners on the bases over the course of the first three innings and were unable to plate any across.
  • The Cajuns tallied three more runs to extend their lead 7-0 in the top of the fourth inning.
