Softball Blows Out Southern Miss In Cocky Classic Finale
2.24.24 | Softball
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – In a game that saw the Bulldogs score their most runs in nearly a decade, the Samford softball team smashed the Southern Miss Golden Eagles by a score of 16-0 in five innings to wrap up the 2024 Cocky Classic.Â
Â
With the win, Samford moves to 2-11 on the year and Southern Miss drops to 4-8 in 2024.Â
Â
Samford's 16 runs on Saturday are the most that the Bulldogs have plated in a game since scoring 17 against St. Peter's in 2014. The squad's 16 base hits on the night are the most in a contest since Samford knocked around Furman for 18 in 2016.
Â
In the circle, Jordyn Partain tossed a complete game one-hitter for her first win of the 2024 campaign. The junior only allowed one run and one hit for a total of two base runners on the evening. Partain also fanned five Golden Eagles.Â
Â
Offensively, the Bulldog trio of Sarah Squillace, Ansley Yantis and Lindsey Nelson each had three hits, batted in three runs and scored twice in the blowout victory.Â
Â
Logan Champion joined in on the action with a 2-for-4 night of her own and scored once with an RBI. Grier Bruce and Katie Campbell rounded out the offensive onslaught with a pair of runs driven in each.Â
Â
The runs came early and often for the Bulldogs scored two in the first inning. A Squillace two-run triple highlighted a three-inning that put Samford up five after the opening two frames on Saturday.Â
Â
Four runs came across in each of the third and fourth innings that were highlighted by a Nelson two-run double in the third and a two-run double by Campbell in the fourth inning.Â
Â
To add on, a pair of Bulldogs came around to score on a Yantis single to left center in the fifth to cement the 16-0 victory.
Â
UP NEXT:Â
Samford heads to Montgomery for a midweek with Alabama State on Tuesday before crossing the state line to March 1 for the Mississippi State-hosted Bulldog Invitational.Â
