Porter, Big Sixth Inning Lift ULM to 5-4 Win over Northwestern State

MONROE, La. – The ULM softball squad came out on top 5-4 in a back-and-forth affair against Northwestern State Wednesday night inside ULM Softball Complex.

ULM (15-14) never led until the bottom of the sixth inning despite scratching runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings. Sophomore Paige Porter (3-1) picked up the win in relief, allowing just one hit during two scoreless innings.

NSU (18-10) scored two in the top of the first inning on a two-run homer from left fielder Natalie Landry that clanked off the left-field pole. The Warhawks responded in the bottom of the third as senior shortstop Faith Bohack plated junior left fielder Rochelle Roberts on a single to left field.
