CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A sixth-inning grand slam put the nail in the coffin of a 8-0, six inning loss to Marshall as the Thundering Herd completed a series sweep of the Charlotte softball team at the D.L. Phillips Softball Complex Sunday afternoon.
Trailing 4-0 in the top of the sixth, and the Niners (16-13, 1-5 C-USA) needed the limit the damage after already allowing two runs to cross the plate in the inning. A single, double and walk loaded the bases for the visitors before Abigail Estrada stepped up to the plate and hit the first pitch she saw just barely past the outstretched glove of and over the fence in right field for a grand slam.
