Wolves Record Second Straight SAC Sweep Against Wingate

Turner Continues Hot Streak, Brogdon Hits First Long Ball

Newberry, S.C. - The Newberry Softball Team opened their South Atlantic Conference home slate on Sunday as they welcomed the Wingate Bulldogs to the Smith Road Complex. The Wolves used a Mackenzie Turner home run to hold off the Bulldogs in game one and then used a three run first inning and two additional insurance runs to complete the sweep. The wins were Newberry's first over the Bulldogs since the 2018 season and moved the Wolves to 23-7 overall and 4-2 in SAC play.

Game One: Newberry 5, Wingate 4
The Wolves would put up a run in five of the six innings they batted in starting with Hannah Towery in the first reaching on the error to score Mallena Wright, who led off the innings with a double. Wright would drive in the second run of the game, scoring Tori Rose who reached on a fielder's choice with one out in the inning. 

Wingate would plate two in the top of the third as they would score on a single and error to tie the game at two a piece. The Wolves would respond in the bottom of the third with a Mackenzie Turner RBI single to score Hannah Towery. In the bottom of the fourth, Wright would drive home her second run of the game with an RBI double to score Tori Rose who walked and stole second.

The Bulldogs would once again tie the game with a two-run home run in the top of the fifth but Mackenzie Turner would blast a one out home run to center field to give the Wolves the 5-4 lead with two innings to go.

From there Kasey Widmyer would shut the Bulldogs down only allowing one Wingate player to reach those last two innings and recorded her ninth complete game of the season. Widmyer would strike out nine and only allow one earned run in her seven innings of work to help the Wolves to the game one win.

Game Two: Newberry 5, Wingate 2
Wingate would strike first with a solo home run in their first inning but the Wolves would strike hard in the first inning, putting a three spot on the scoreboard. It started with a Mallena Wright single and then Wright would steal her 15th and 16th bases of the season to get to third where she would be brought in by a Hannah Towery double to tie the game. Mackenzie Turner continued her hot offensive week as she followed Towery with a two-run shot again to center field to give the Wolves the 3-1 lead.

Wingate would get back to within one in the top of the third with another home run but that's as close as the Bulldogs would get as in the bottom of the fourth, Sierra Brogdon would launch the first home run of her collegiate career to make it 4-2. Newberry would conclude the scoring in the fifth as Towery would rip her third RBI double of the game to give the game it's final scoreline of 5-2 as Alexandrea Sullivan would quell two Wingate rallies in the sixth and seventh for her eighth complete game of the season.

The Wolves now will have a short turn around as they will face the UVA-Wise Cavaliers in the mid-week. That game has been moved to Tuesday, March 15th at 1 and 3 PM.
