UTA Softball claims run-rule victory against Southern University

The softball team improved to 10-7 with a 16-0 run-rule victory against Southern University after five innings Thursday at Allan Saxe Field. The game's highlight was a two-out grand slam by senior catcher Kacey Everett.

“Everyone did really well today,” Everett said. “That’s a big step forward for us and definitely a confidence boost going into the weekend.”

After sparking a double play to retire the Jaguars, junior infielder Sandra Mendoza led off the bottom of the first with a double to the left side, the 28th of her career, tying her for eighth in career doubles in UTA history.
