The Lady Buffs softball team defeated Lees McRae College 9-1 and 8-2 in Sunday’s double-header.
In the first game, freshman pitcher Brandy Waddle picked up the win for the Buffs allowing only three hits and one run to score in the six innings. She struck out four and walked one batter.
“Our defense was good,” said Waddle. “They got a few hits but my defense was there to back me up.”
Junior Shelby Banion led the Buffs hitting four for four, scoring two runs and one RBI. Senior Carissa Ellis had two hits and scored two runs, including her first home run.
In the second game, senior Andrea Henriott batted two for three. Waddle added one more win to her pitching record. She pitched the first two innings and the last three while senior Ashley Fine pitched the middle two.
“We had crucial hits when we needed them,” said Waddle. “All in all it was a good day.”
The Lady Buffs improve their record to 11-5 overall and 8-0 in the conference.
