The Miners softball team lost their spot first-place spot in Conference USA over the weekend. The team closed out their home stand against the UAB Blazers on Sunday, April 24, but failed in a 4-2 loss. The Miners (19-28, 10-8 C-USA) are now two games behind the Blazers (22-24, 12-6 C-USA). UTEP is currently tied for second place in the Western division with Southern Miss. Like the Miners, Southern Miss is 10-8 in conference as well.
“I have so much faith in this team to come back,” said sophomore infielder Hope Moreno, who finished the day batting 1-for-2 with a RBI.
