Game Recap | Tennessee Tech 8, Chattanooga 0 (5)
After a scoreless first inning, the Golden Eagles plated six runs on four hits and were helped by two Mocs errors in the top of the second. Two of the the six runs went down as unearned.
With the 6-0 lead, TTU added a run in both the third and fourth innings to extend out to a mercy rule eight run lead. The Mocs wouldn't have any answers as they only recorded four hits while leaving six on base in the loss. Of the four hits, two of them came from the first two batters of the first, an
Amy Lewis double and a
Hayleigh Weissenbach infield single.
Weissenbach finished 2-for-3 at the plate while Lewis was 1-for-2 with a walk.
