Softball's Comeback Effort Falls Short on Wednesday
2/24/2021 11:13:00 PM | Softball
Chattanooga's late comeback run was halted during a 10-7 loss to UT Martin on Wednesday.
CHATTANOOGA --- The Chattanooga Mocs softball team saw a late rally fall short in a 10-7 loss to UT Martin in non-conference action inside Jim Frost Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Following the loss, Chattanooga falls to 2-4 overall on the season. UT Martin improves its perfect record to 5-0.
After UT Martin struck in the top of the first with an RBI groundout, Cameren Swafford answered with a two-run homer in the home half to put the Mocs ahead 2-1. It marked back-to-back games where Swafford belted a two-run shot in the opening frame.
Both teams went scoreless through the second and third innings before the Skyhawks broke things open in the top of the fourth with five runs on four hits to build a 6-2 advantage. Chattanooga committed a pair of errors in the inning that led to four of the five runs being marked as unearned.
UT Martin added to its lead, 10-2, with three runs in the fifth and one in the top of the sixth. UTC fought off the near run-rule decision after a Gracey Kruse SAC fly and UTM throwing error allowed two runs to score, brining the tally to 10-4.
Chattanooga continued to chip away in the bottom of the seventh and pulled within four at 10-6 after scoring two early runs on a pair of Skyhawk miscues. Swafford added her third RBI of the game to close it to three, but a fly out to center ultimately ended the comeback effort, 10-7.
Kat Thompson (1-1) suffered the loss despite just allowing two earned runs over 3.1 innings of work. Kylie Coffin, Regan Lowrie and Hannah Wood all saw relief action in the circle.
Swafford finished 2-for-3 with a homerun, two runs scored and three RBI while Courtney Ball kept a four-game hit streak alive with a 1-for-4 performance. Kruse recorded an RBI in a 1-for-2 night at the plate.
Chattanooga returns to action tomorrow, Thursday, February 25, to host Tennessee Tech in a doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. EST. This weekend's originally schedule Frost Classic has been canceled.
