The Louisiana Tech softball team had a picture-perfect ending to Senior Day with a rubber match victory against UAB to improve their home record to an impressive 17-3 and strengthen their hold on the first-place throne of the Conference USA.
Despite a slow start, the Lady Techsters (30-18, 15-6) slayed the Blazers (20-28-1,11-6-1) by a score of 7-1 April 22, in a game three rubber match to take the series away from the second ranked team in the C-USA.
After a first inning dominated by UAB offensively and defensively, Tech absolutely took control in the following innings by catching fire from the plate in the third, fourth and fifth innings and getting a dominant performance from junior pitcher Preslee Gallaway after the first inning.
