WKU Softball built on its momentum from its first Conference USA series win Tuesday, defeating Lipscomb University 8-3.
After a scoreless first inning, freshman second baseman Charlotte Herron’s RBI single put the Hilltoppers on the board in the second.
A tame three-inning stretch had no runs from either team.
The scoring drought came to a close in the sixth, as both teams earned multiple runs.
In the top of the sixth, an RBI double from Herron, a sacrifice fly from sophomore shortstop Morgan Sharpe and a two-RBI homer from senior catcher Randi Drinnon put the Hilltoppers up 5-0.
Lipscomb responded with an RBI single and a two-RBI double in the bottom of the sixth. The Hilltoppers led 5-3 going into the final inning.
Sophomore first baseman Annie White put the game away with her three-RBI homer in the top of the seventh. Lipscomb couldn’t connect on the other end, leaving the Hilltoppers with an 8-3 victory.
WKU will take its two-game winning streak into a CUSA series at Kennesaw State University April 4-6.
