The Troy State softball team swept its first ever meeting with Birmingham-Southern at the Lady Trojan Softball Complex on Tuesday afternoon.

Troy State (8-4) claimed game one, 2-1, as pinch hitter Erica Cruzat drove home Jenny Boyd from third with a single up the middle with two outs in the seventh for the win.

The Lady Trojans’ offense came around in the second game, pounding out seven hits as TSU cruised to a 6-2 win.

"We showed a lot of improvement today," said Troy State head coach Melanie Davis.

"But we still have a long way to go.

We fought back and won the first game and got some great pitching all day to help give our offense a chance to win it for us."

BSC (3-10) jumped ahead in game one in the third, as Dawn Treadwell roped a double to the gap in left-center field to drive in the Panthers first run.

The Lady Trojans answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the third.

Erin Flater’s single to the gap in right-center drove home Mindy Porep from first to tie the game at one.

In the seventh, Bonnie Belin led off with a deep fly to right field that was misplayed by Treadwell, with Belin running all the way to third.

Two batters later, Cruzat singled to end the game.
