GULF SHORES, Ala. - Sunday was a tough finish on the Alabama Gulf Coast for the UWG softball team as the Wolves were no-hit in a 9-0 defeat to Saint Leo in the final game of the Gulf Shores Invitational.
West Georgia's offense had two baserunners all day with R.J. Janke and Nicole Couvertiere each reaching via walk, but Saint Leo's Kayla Betts was dominant in the circle striking out 16 batters in the game.
The Lions struck for two in second inning off of UWG starter Macy Ann McKnight, and then got two more in the fifth against Marissa Thompson. Saint Leo broke the game open in the top half of the seventh, striking for five runs on four hits and an error.
McKnight took the loss, pitching 4.1 innings total while Thompson, Camden Smith, and Hannah Hennessy all pitched in relief.
The Wolves now have five days to prepare for their next action as UWG travels to USC-Aiken next Saturday for a non-conference doubleheader. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. from Aiken, South Carolina.
