UT MARTIN SOFTBALL HAS SEASON COME TO A CLOSE AT OVC SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST BELMONT
5/8/2019 1:07:00 PM | Softball
OXFORD, Ala. – The University of Tennessee at Martin softball team saw its season come to a close on Wednesday morning in the opening game of the Ohio Valley Conference Softball Championship, falling to No. 6 seed Belmont 7-0.
The Skyhawks conclude the season with a 29-27 overall mark after posting a 10-12 record in league action. Playing in the opening round of the OVC Softball Championship, the game served as a win or go home matchup with the winner advancing to the double-elimination portion of the tournament schedule.
UT Martin would be hit in hard in the first inning as junior Hannah Ridolfi (8-11) allowed five runs in two-thirds of an inning. The freshman duo of Lexi Ray and Erin Gallagher appeared in relief afterwards, combining to allow one earned run in 4.1 innings. Sophomore Caitlin Karo closed out the contest, pitching a perfect inning in the sixth.
The Skyhawks were held hitless until the top of the sixth inning when All-OVC second team performer Paige Clark broke up the potential combined no-hitter by the Bruins. Along with her single, Clark tallied her 34th stolen base of the season which ranks fourth in program single-season history.
