SB: HCU falls to host ULM at Warhawk Invitational

Huskies play twice on Sunday to conclude trip to Monroe



MONROE, Louisiana --- Houston Christian University couldn't get anything going offensively and dropped its second straight game to host Louisiana-Monroe in the Warhawk Invitational, falling 9-0 on Saturday night at the ULM Softball Complex. The Warhawks put up a six-spot in the first inning and never looked back, holding HCU to two hits and seven baserunners in the game.
 
A two-run double by Hollie Thomas scored the Brown sisters, Meagan and Morgan, to give ULM a quick 2-0 lead with no outs. After an RBI single from Elle Carter, Layla Thompson clubbed a three-run homer to left center to run the lead to six.
 
That was all the support Victoria Abrams needed on this night, as she faced 20 batters in five innings, allowing just two hits while walking three and striking out four to improve to 2-1 on the season.
 
AB Garcia had both hits for HCU, including her first triple of the season. Cara Pitman took the first loss of her career, going just 0.2 innings and allowing six runs to fall to 1-1 on the season.
 
Thompson went 1-1 with the homer and three RBI, while Morgan Brown, Carter and Brooke Lippert each had two hits for the Warhawks, now 8-7 on the year.  
 
The Huskies fall to 3-8 on the campaign and will close out play with a pair of games on Sunday. HCU takes on Eastern Illinois University for the second time on the weekend at 10 am, followed by the tournament finale against Southern University at 12:30 pm.
