Quick Start for #5 UT Tyler Paves the Way for 6-2 Win Over Pioneers

TYLER, TEXAS -  #5 UT Tyler scored five runs off nine hits in their first three trips to the plate to win 6-2 over Texas Woman's on Tuesday night.
 
The Patriots notched three hits in each of the first three innings to sprint out to the quick lead and then leaned on starter Kaylee Davis' sixth straight complete game in the circle in the late innings. The win is the 41st consecutive victory on their home field for UT Tyler, the longest active streak in all of Division II softball.
 
Senior Cassidi Mullen went 3-for-3 with a run scored and Courtney Plocheck and Makayla Garcia each posted a pair of hits to lead a UT Tyler offense that totaled 11 hits in the ball game. Junior JT Smith rounded out the five Patriots that posted multi-hit efforts with a 2-for-4 day at the plate.
 
Smith put the first run on the board of the ball game in the bottom of the first on an RBI single that cashed in Garcia from third. Texas Woman's briefly tied the game in the top of the second with an RBI double, but three runs in the bottom of the second quickly put UT Tyler back out ahead 4-1.
 
Two of the three runs in the frame came by way of a double steal, and the other an RBI single from Plocheck that plated second baseman Nicole Price.
 
The bottom of the third featured three Patriot hits for the third straight trip to the plate, including leadoff doubles from Smith and graduate student Michelle Arias that made it 5-1. A sac fly from Plocheck for her second RBI of the game in the fifth provided Davis a 6-1 lead to work with in the circle in the late innings.
 
Davis scattered six hits and allowed just a single earned run over 7.0 complete innings of work. The Venus, Texas native struckout one and allowed just a single walk.
 
Back-to-back two-out doubles plated the final run of the ballgame for Texas Woman's in the sixth and brought the score to it's 6-2 final.
 
All six runs were scored by a different Patriot. UT Tyler drew four walks and stole four bases in the game.
 
UT Tyler and Texas Woman's will finish the series tomorrow afternoon with a double schedule to start at 1 p.m.
