COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Troy Softball team used a four-run eighth inning to down the reigning MAC conference champions Miami (OH), 5-1, Friday in the opening day of the Carolina Classic.
Leanna Johnson (6-1) earned her sixth win of the season after tossing a one-hitter to power past Miami (OH) (2-4), who is fresh off an NCAA Regional appearance.
After both teams plated a run in the top of the seventh inning to send the game into extra innings, the Trojan offense ignited for four runs in the top of the eighth to secure the victory.
