Softball: Blue Raiders bring the fire to Tennessee Southern

Pulaski, TN - At Royce Hughes Field, the Lindsey Wilson softball team cruised to a three-game sweep over the University of Tennessee Southern on Monday. The emphatic romp of the home side improves the Blue Raiders' active win-streak to four games and pushes them back above 0.500 in conference-play.

The visitors were in dominant form throughout the day, finishing with 25 total runs on 31 hits to outscore the Firehawks by 17. Monday's third contest highlighted the afternoon, as the locals erupted for a season-high 15 runs to help cap off the trifecta.

Not only was Lindsey Wilson scintillating from the plate, but the Blue Raiders also caught fire in the circle thanks to outstanding performances from Abigail Cruz, Grace Adams, Savannah Robbins, and Olivia Franceschi. The quartet limited Tennessee Southern to a 0.152 team-batting average, which is the lowest by a Blue Raider opponent this season.

Lindsey Wilson is slated to return home this weekend to host No. 14 Freed-Hardeman University. The first game of the three-game series is set for 3pmCT on Friday, April 14, 2023.
