Jackets Split Conference Crossover

LONGVIEW, Texas – LETU softball split its cross-conference doubleheader against Centenary Wednesday. The YellowJackets took game one, 2-1, but fell in the finale, 11-4.

LETU goes to 12-22 on the season, while Centenary moves to 13-17.

In the first contest, The Ladies of Centenary struck first, tallying a run in the opening inning. LETU didn't waste anytime erasing the one run deficit, scoring a run in the bottom half when Madelyn Tannery scampered home after an error.

The Jackets played stingy defense throughout the game, holding Centenary scoreless the rest of the way. LETU recorded what was the game winning run in the bottom of the fifth after Kylie Grisham singled down the left line to send the lightning fast Emilee Anderson in for a score.

Hailee Leger went the distance in the circle for the win with four strikeouts. Kiley Banks, Alysa Torres, Preslie Turney, Mickenzie Murry, and Macy Clevenger each had one hit in game one.

LETU jumped all over Centenary in the beginning of the final game of the day, recording two runs in the bottom of the first. After a bunt from Grisham for an RBI and a throwing error by the Ladies, sending Tannery and Banks in for the two runs, giving LETU a 2-0 lead going into the second inning.

Taking advantage of a Centenary throwing error, the YellowJackets would go on to extend its lead to three runs in the bottom of the third. 

The Ladies got on board for its first score in the top half of the fourth, but LeTourneau scratched that run when they scored in the bottom of the fifth. Torres accounted for the score, collecting an RBI after a sacrifice fly out to center field, advancing Tannery in for a run.

After a scoreless sixth inning, Centenary stormed back in a major way, tallying a whopping 10 runs in the top half of the decisive inning. The rally by the Ladies was too much for the Jackets as it fell in the bottom half in three straight outs.

Tannery led LETU at the plate with two hits, going 2-of-4. Jade Merrell took the loss in the circle, pitching 3.1 innings. Lexi Hutchins also seen significant time in the circle, working 3.1 innings with three strikeouts.

The YellowJackets return back to LETU Softball Field Tuesday as it hosts No. 4 East Texas Baptist in a three-game series, beginning with a doubleheader at 5 p.m.
