Cumbie Collects 3 RBI in 3-1 Victory over East Carolina

KNOXVILLE, TENN. – UNC Greensboro (UNCG) softball senior Delaney Cumbie's two-run home run in the top of the sixth was the eventual game-winning hit in a 3-1 victory over East Carolina Sunday morning at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.
 
Cumbie initially doubled to right field to tie the game at one in the top of the third bringing home Blayke Batten.
 
She then cranked her 12th homer of the season to left field hitting the scoreboard for a 3-1 advantage. Makenna Matthijs was on base to score.
 
This brought UNCG's season total to 88 home runs.
 
Morgan Scott, in her 22nd complete game this season, earned her 20th win of the year and 48th of her career.
 
Scott struck out nine with the victory, allowing just three hits.
