Softball goes four for five last Saturday


The UTM softball team had an excellent day last Saturday, winning four of five games in the Dyersburg Play Day.

The Skyhawks got off to a hot start by defeating Cumberland University 7-0 and Bethel 4-0.

Their only loss came in a 2-1 nail-biter with Columbia State, but they rebounded to win the final two games, 3-2 over Freed Hardeman and 8-1 over Union University.

In the five games, the Skyhawks displayed a strong combination of offense and pitching. The bats exploded to score 24 runs, including five home runs, while the pitchers surrendered a minuscule four runs.

Playing five games on Saturday, made for a long day, but presented a great opportunity for Coach Donley Canary to look at players in a number of positions.

“It was a good test for us,” said Canary. “We got to look at several lineups with people in different positions.”
