LOUISVILLE, KY – Georgia Tech softball (19-20, 5-10 ACC) dropped the final game of the series against Louisville (29-7, 6-3 ACC), 3-1, on Sunday afternoon.
QUICK HITS
- In her 20th start of the season, 25th appearance of the season, Madalyn Johnson faced 14 batters across 3.1 innings of work and finished the day with three strikeouts.
- Makayla Coffield not only made her 15th relief appearance, 17th appearance of the season, but also began the day making her first start of the season as the designated player. Coffield finished the day with one at-bat while also having faced four batters across 0.2 innings of work after she relieved Johnson and took on the final two batters of the fourth inning.
- Sydnie Watts made her sixth relief appearance of the season, 15th appearance of the season, relieving Coffield in the fifth. Watts went on to face nine batters across 2.0 innings pitched.
- Holly Medina scored Tech’s one Sunday run off her second career home run. Medina launched the ball over center field in the top of the seventh on a 1-1 count.
- Medina joins six other Yellow Jackets who are sporting a multi-home run season.
- The outfielder was one of three Jackets to record a hit in the final game of the series alongside Maddie Duffel and Gracyn Tucker.
- Tucker’s double to right center marked her 100th career hit. The red shirt sophomore also sits one home run shy of 25 career home runs.
- The third baseman holds Tech’s longest active hitting streak of eight games. The streak is her second longest of the season after recording at least one hit in 12 consecutive games earlier this season.
- Addison Leschber holds Tech’s longest active reached safely streak after the first baseman was able to get on base for the 11th straight game on Sunday. The active reached safely streak is Leschber’s longest of the season and the fourth longest for a Yellow Jacket this season.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After three scoreless innings, Louisville was able to load the bases in the bottom of the fourth before Tech called in Coffield to relieve Johnson. A sac fly sent one run through before the Yellow Jackets could close out the inning.
- The Cardinals extended their lead in the bottom of the fifth with a solo home run hit over center field. Watts was sent in to relieve Coffield in the bottom of the fifth before another sac fly sent one additional run across.
