Dartmouth vs. Chattanooga Boxscore 

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Sophomore pitcher Brooke Loudermilk (Locust Grove, Ga.) struck out 14 batters and pitched a complete game, three-hit shutout as Chattanooga (15-12) defeated Dartmouth (1-5) 2-0 Friday morning at the Eddie C. Moore Softball Complex at the USF Under Armour Showcase.

An RBI single in the second inning by sophomore catcher Lynleigh Hurndon (McDonough, Ga.) and a RBI single up the middle by freshman first baseman Michelle Fuzzard (Huntington Beach, Calif.) in the third staked the Lady Mocs to a 2-0 lead early on. That would be all that they would need as Loudermilk would surrender only three hits on the day and strike out 14 batters, including the last five of the game, to lock up the 2-0 victory.

Junior infielder Rachel Norris (Ringgold, Ga.) and freshman outfielder Lauren Flores (Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.) each went 2-for-3 on the day to lead Chattanooga while Fuzzard finished 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI. Hurndon went 1-for-3 with the other UTC RBI and senior shortstop Tara Tembey (Folsom, Calif.) scored a run and stole her seventh base of the season to go to 7-7 on the season.

Loudermilk notched her second complete game shutout of the season and tenth of her career as she won her fifth straight decision to move to 6-4 on the season. Stephanie Trudeau went the distance and allowed only the two runs as she fell to 0-3 on the season for the Big Green.

For Loudermilk, it is the third time in her career that she has rung up 14 batters. She did it twice last season against St. Francis on February 23 and Austin Peay on March 2, setting the program record and then tying it. Earlier this season, she struck out 15 batters against Bowling Green to break her own school record and has a total of 13 career double-digit strikeouts performances.

The Lady Mocs return to action later this afternoon when they take on Boston University at 4 p.m.
