Chattanooga freshman Brittney Whittier became a hero with a fifth inning home run over the left field fence to give Chattanooga a 2-1 win in the Sonic Challenge at Frost Stadium Saturday night.
Dayton scored in the first inning when Angie Barney stole second and the throw hit the dirt in front of
the bag and ended up in shallow center field. Cassie Gross scored on the error to give the Fliers an early
lead.
Chattanooga bounced back and scored in back-to-back innings for the win. Melissa Ramirez hit a single up
the middle and scored Jeannie Cochran from first in the fourth inning. Whittier led off the fifth with a
Freshman Lacey Swarthout, pitching in her second game of the night, struck out six in the remaining three innings and had eight overall and earned her fifth win of the year.
The Lady Mocs will play in the two late games taking on Villanova at 4:45 and Virginia in the nightcap at
7:00 p.m. Both games will be played at Frost Stadium.
Game 16 - Chattanooga 2, Miami (OH) 1
A walk in the bottom of the fifth proved to be the difference in Chattanooga's 2-1 win over Miami (OH) at Frost Stadium in the Sonic Challenge Saturday evening.
Jeannie Cochran beat out a throw from the third baseman to start the inning and then stole second. Melissa Ramirez had her second hit of the night putting a single into left field and advancing Cochran to third. Leslie Barron drew a walk to load the bases for Stefani Thomas who walked and forced Cochran in for the go-ahead run.
Ramirez sent a shot that died at the bottom of the right center wall for an RBI double scoring Teri Herbert from second. The Redhawks answered with a run in the second with an unearned run. Jackie Poggendorf had a double and advanced to third on an error by the centerfielder and scored on a groundout by Jacque Molinaro.
Ramirez went 3-3 with an RBI and Herbert had two hits. Lacey Swarthout pitched seven innings and recorded six
strikeouts.

Game 10 - Villanova 2, Samford 1
*500th career win for Villanova head coach Maria DiBernardi
A pair of singles in the third inning gave Villanova just enough room to get past Samford 2-1 for its first
win in the Sonic Challenge at Frost Stadium Saturday morning.
Ricci Lugo had one of her two hits in the third inning and put the Wildcat's on the board. Kristen Strait stepped up to the plate and sent a liner to left center scoring Lugo and put Villanova up 2-0.
Samford's only score came off a home run by Jenna Dempski off Shannon Williams in the fifth inning. Williams struck out six, walked one and gave up three hits. The Bulldog's Emilee Lewis also struck out six and allowed seven hits in the loss.

game on a Jackie Poggendorf wild pitch in the sixth inning. A double by Sevco and a single by Hansen in
the seventh sent two more runs across the plate for Western Kentucky.

In the fourth inning, Cheney drove in Harms for the go-ahead run in the fourth and knocked an insurance run in the top of the sixth. Harms reached first on a single to right field in the fourth, but the hit was mishandled
by the right fielder Angela Knight. Harms advanced and stretched it out sliding in safely under the throw to
third. Cheney knocked a double off the right field wall to score Harms to go up 2-0 two innings later.

fashion. With the bases loaded and just one out, pinch hitter Lindsay Gatti was hit by a pitch and Stephanie
Young scored to make it 4-1. Jessie Richardson's two-run single put Western Kentucky within striking
distance at 4-3, but it was a two-run double from Shelly Floyd that put the Hilltoppers on top for good at 5-4.
In the top of the seventh, Western Kentucky added a much needed run from Renita Pennington. Pennington
tripled and then scored on a sacrifice fly in foul territory off the bat of Shelly Floyd to give WKU six runs.

With runners at second and third, Lauren Harms reached first on a fielding error by Tami Roudebush and Sarah Mancuso scored to pull the game to within one. Harms beat the pitch-out at second but Bethany Till was
caught trying to steal home. Harms was then caught trying to steal third and was thrown out 6-4-5 ending the game.
