Western Kentucky struggled with runners in scoring position Saturday, but got hits when it needed them most.
The Hilltoppers were 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position through six innings, but Taylor Sanders gave WKU a 2-1 victory over UTEP with a walk-off single at the WKU Softball Complex.
WKU got on the board first in the low-scoring affair in the bottom of the third. Randi Drinnon led off the frame with a hard-hit ball that went between the legs of Anna Sample at first, and after a sacrifice bunt from TJ Webster moved her into scoring position, Taylor Davis drove her home with a double.
