LWC Softball to host Union today in doubleheader

By Brady Budke

After a nine day break in action, the No. 3-ranked Lindsey Wilson softball team returns to the field this afternoon at Marilyn D. Sparks Park, Lindsey Wilson Sports Complex, 928 Russell Road, Columbia, KY, to face Union (KY) in a doubleheader.

The first game is set to begin at 3pmCT, with the second game to follow shortly after the conclusion of game one.



Lindsey Wilson (10-1) has used consistent play from the plate to its advantage in the hot season start. Seven Blue Raiders have corralled double-digit hits in the early going, led by Makea-Al Kaluau and Sam Sims who have belted out 15 apiece. Kaluau has launched out seven home runs this season to help elevate LWC who currently ranks first as a team in the NAIA DI in home runs per game (1.6). From the center circle, five pitchers have seen action in double-digit innings and three have punched out 10+ batters. Annabelle Ramirez has put together 12 complete innings of work while striking out a team-high 17 batters.

Union (13-4) enters Columbia having won 10 of its last 11 contests, which includes a 25-5 victory over Allen (S.C.) on March 7th. Ariel Dailey has heavily influenced the Bulldogs batting this season, notching team-highs of 32 hits, 10 doubles, four triples, and three home runs. Union has pushed across 105 runs this season for a 6.1 runs per game average. From the circle, two Union pitchers have carried the Bulldogs to a strong season start. Madison Williams has rolled out 43-1/3 innings pitched while punching out 46 batters and walking just 17 in return. Right behind Williams, Abby Wall has garnered a 1.94 ERA, 29 strikeouts, and 11 earned runs in 39-2/3 innings pitched.

Live video and live stats will be available for both games today. First pitch of game one is set to be tossed at 3 p.m. CT.
