Softball Strings Together 16 Hits in 8-2 Win Over UMass

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) softball team defeated UMass on Saturday night at the UNCG Softball Stadium with a score of 8-2.

UNCG tallied 16 hits in the game. This is the most hits in a game this season for the Spartans and most hits since March 27, 2022, when UNCG recorded 16 in a 19-1 win over Mercer at the UNCG Softball Stadium.

The Spartans' Salem Ward tossed her first-collegiate complete game in the circle. She threw 7.0 innings for the Blue & Gold, striking out five batters and only allowing two hits.

Six Spartans had a multi-hit game, with Brooklynn Maxwell and Grace Loftin leading the way at the plate swinging 3-for-4. Jessie Shipley, Jorde Chartrand, Ward, and Tori Dalehite each contributed two hits each.

After two scoreless innings, UNCG put up two runs in the bottom of the third as Maxwell hit an RBI double to left field and Chartrand hit a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead. UMass responded with two runs of its own in the top of the fourth on one hit and one error tying the game, 2-2.

UNCG had a four-run fourth inning, giving the Spartans a 6-2 advantage. Dalehite hit her first-collegiate home run with Ward on base. After the second out of the inning, Maxwell used her speed and made her way around all of the bases for an inside-the-park home run. This was her 10th blast of the season and 23rd of her career. Loftin followed that homer with her own solo laser over the left field wall. This was her sixth homer of the season and 22nd of her career.

The Spartans added another run in each of the fifth and sixth innings. The first came on Dalehite's RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, and then Maxwell scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the sixth.

Ward struck out the first two Minutewomen in the top of the seventh. After giving up a single, Ward retired the side with a ground out for her third win of the season and 10th of her career.
