MOBILE, Ala. – Troy utilized a fifth-inning comeback to power past UT Arlington, 2-1, in the opening game of the Sun Belt Tournament Wednesday at Jaguar Field.
Clutch defensive plays and a sacrifice fly from third baseman proved to be the game changer as the sophomore sparked Troy's two-run bottom of the fifth.
The contest proved to be a pitchers' duel early as both (20-11) and Jessica Adams (12-17) carried a no-hitter through the first three complete innings.
In the top of the fourth, a check swing single and a bunt single broke up Johnson's no-hitter and put two runners on with no outs.
