Samantha Gonzalez Reporter

The Spring Hill College softball team defeated Miles College on March 25 in an SIAC doubleheader at home.

In the first game, the Lady Badgers came out on top, and swept the Golden Bears 7-1. During the second game, the Badgers remained in the lead, 13-1, allowing them to continue their success and stay undefeated in the SIAC.

When asked about Saturday’s games, Head Coach Hanna Lythberg said, “I think our pitching did a great job keeping us in both games & we did a great job of capitalizing on walks and strung a few timely hits together. I’m proud of the way the girls are playing offensive softball and how they’re playing as one!” Freshman Emma Curry and Redshirt Junior Alexandra Ballester pitched for the Lady Badgers.

Not only did the Badgers come out with a win, but alumni from Spring Hill College’s original softball team came to campus to celebrate the 25 anniversary of the softball team. The first pitch of the day was thrown by the former head coach Coby Mackin.
