Explosive Sixth Inning Pushes No. 10 Duke Past UNC Greensboro, 8-1
DURHAM – An explosive sixth inning helped lift No. 10 Duke softball (37-8, 13-5 ACC) to an 8-1 victory over UNC Greensboro (26-18, 5-3 SoCon) Wednesday night at Duke Softball Stadium.
Freshman D'Auna Jennings extends her career-best hitting streak to seven games after batting 4-for-4 with three RBI against the Spartans. Junior pitcher Jala Wright improves to 10-4 on the year after giving up just one run on two hits in her 6.0 innings of work.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Junior Francesca Frelick opened the scoring in the bottom of the second after sending a base hit deep into right field to score classmate Kelly Torres and freshman Kairi Rodriguez, who each reached on a single through the right side.
