No. 7 Warhawks softball rally in game 1, earn shutout in game 2 against Southern Wesleyan

The seventh-ranked Auburn Montgomery softball team continued its stellar pitching over the weekend, failing to allow an earned run in a doubleheader sweep over Southern Wesleyan.

The Warhawks took Game 1 by a 3-1 score, scoring all three runs in the seventh inning. Haley Johnson led off with a triple, scoring on a throwing error, and Laci Driggers smashed a two-run homer to left to give AUM the lead.

Cassie Daniels (15-1) struck out 12 and allowed no earned runs in the opener. Taylor Powell and Kayla Hale then combined on a four-hitter in a 5-0 Game 2 win.
AUM (35-5, 12-4 SSAC) has now won eight straight games, while Southern Wesleyan dropped to 23-19 and 8-12 in the Southern States Athletic Conference.

“I thought our pitchers did a great job today,” head coach Chris Steiner-Wilcoxson said. “They came out and kept us in the ballgames until we could make adjustments at the plate offensively. We’re not used to seeing a lot of off-speed pitching.

One night after dropping a 2-1 contest, the Auburn Montgomery baseball team outscored Brewton-Parker 26-5 and swept Saturday’s doubleheader at Barons Field.

AUM (27-16-1, 13-11 SSAC) took the opener 10-1, while taking the rubber game 16-4 in eighth innings. With the loss, the Barons fell to 22-16 overall and 12-9 in league play.

“Today our guys really stepped up when they had their backs against the wall,” head coach Q.V. Lowe said. “They could have come to the park today and caved in, especially being on the road, but they showed their true toughness. I can’t say enough about the way Daniel (Farrar) came in and threw today. This is the second week that he has come in and done an outstanding job for us. We had good approaches at the plate and really hit the ball well as a team.”

The Warhawks finished the doubleheader with 26 hits, led by Branden Kelley’s five in the twin bill. Hayden Hillyer, Josh Thompson and Chad Mansmann finished with four hits each.
