MONROE, La. – The ULM softball squad showed its calming demeanor in an emotional 3-2 win over Louisiana Tech Wednesday inside ULM Softball Complex.
The night began with the two teams honoring Steele Becton, a three-year-old boy with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), by letting Becton toss out the first pitch.
The action in the game began early as Senior Amye Barre grounded to first but Lady Techster (19-12) first baseman Pauline Tufi airmailed the throw to second and junior Rochelle Roberts came around to score.
Junior Melanie Coyne (13-14) held LA Tech off the board until the fifth inning when senior Anna Cross lifted a two-run home run to left that gave the Lady Techsters a 2-1 advantage.
