Bouquin Hits Game Winner, Softball Defeats Charlotte, 7-6

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) softball team had a five-run seventh inning to defeat in-state foe Charlotte on Wednesday at UNCG Softball Stadium, 7-6, as freshman Avery Bouquin hit the game-winning double.
 
The Spartans improve to 28-14 overall, while the 49ers fall to 22-19 overall.
  • Rhyann Jones, in the circle for the Spartans, retired the first three Charlotte batters in the top of the first.
  • UNCG then began the bottom of the frame with a leadoff walk from Kaylyn Belfield who then advanced to second on an infield single by Macy Michael.
  • Nya South picked the second pitch of her at-bat to drive out to left center for a two-run double, giving UNCG a 2-0 advantage.
  • The 49ers threatened with two runners in scoring position in the top of the second, but Jones struck out the side keeping Charlotte at bay.
  • With two outs and no one on base in the top of the third, Charlotte's London Dirks was hit by a pitch to reach base and then stole second base before Jenna Lord crushed a two-run homer over the right field wall to tie the game, 2-2.
  • Following a scoreless fourth inning, Charlotte scored two runs on one hit and one error taking the 4-2 lead.
  • The 49ers tacked on another two runs in the top of the sixth on a defensive miscue for a 6-2 cushion.
  • The Spartans then strung together two hits and one error, scoring five runs in the bottom of the seventh.
  • With the bases loaded and one out, Michael reached on a fielder's choice and all runners were safe as Charlotte's shortstop committed an error, cutting the deficit to three, 6-3.
  • South walked with the bases loaded, giving UNCG another run for a 6-4 deficit.
  • Laney Deane grounded out to second base for the second out of the inning, but Belfield crossed home plate for a one-run difference, 6-5.
  • Bouquin then cranked a ball off the wall in left center, scoring two runs for a game-winning double, giving UNCG a 7-6 victory.
  • Bouquin went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a double, while Hadley Gardner swung 2-for-3 at the plate as the only other Spartan with multiple hits.
