HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Samford broke through on offense in the fourth inning with back-to-back singles from Whitney Hinton and O'Neil Roberson. Grace Dabbs out of the seventh-hole, had a single up the middle that drove in two runs giving the Bulldogs the lead going into the fifth inning.
  • DePaul responded in the top of the fifth with a two-run home run, and a four-run onslaught in top of the fourth, en route to an 8-2 victory over Samford.
  • In the nightcap, Georgia Tech took an early lead in the top of the third inning.
  • The pitcher's duel continued until the seventh inning, when Georgia Tech pushed across an insurance run, and the Bulldogs were unable to mount a seventh-inning comeback.
