ARLINGTON, Texas – In a back-and-forth game, the Troy softball team fell to the UT Arlington Mavericks, 13-12, in nine innings at Allan Saxe Field. Troy had already won the series with a doubleheader sweep on Saturday.
Troy (30-20, 11-10 Sun Belt) jumped to an early 3-1 lead in the top of the second inning on multiple errors by the Mavericks. Khadija Neely was the first Trojan to cross the plate on a throwing error by the UT Arlington short stop. Kate Benton then hit into an RBI groundout to score Leah Brundidge, and another Maverick fielding error pushed Stephanie Snyder across the plate.
