Records: Western Carolina 15-15, N.C. A&T 12-18
Location: Greensboro, N.C. | Lady Aggie Softball Stadium
 
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Junior Brooklynn Brewington broke the program's single-season stolen base record as Western Carolina softball split its doubleheader at North Carolina A&T Wednesday winning game one 6-3 before falling in the second game 6-5 in eight innings at Lady Aggie Softball Stadium.
 
Western Carolina 6, North Carolina A&T 3
 
Turning Point 
Western Carolina used a monster fourth inning, scoring four runs, to break a 2-2 tie and only allowed the Aggies one run over the next three and a half innings. 
 
How it Happened 
  • The Catamounts struck first in the opening inning, all without a hit. 
  • Brewington led off the game with a walk and promptly stole second, breaking the program record for stolen bases in a season (17). She padded the stolen base record quickly stealing third.
  • Natalie Henry drew the second walk in the inning and both she and Brewington moved up a base on a wild pitch which allowed Brewington to score.
  • North Carolina A&T's second wild pitch of the inning pushed Henry to score setting up a sacrifice RBI by Bailey Huneycutt for the second run of the inning.
  • North Carolina A&T quickly tied the game by a lead-off triple allowing the Aggie runner to score on a ground out. N.C. A&T tied the game on a solo home run.  
  • The Catamounts' big fourth inning sealed the game for WCU.
  • Myra Twitty got things started in the fourth with a lead-off walk. With one out, Samantha Reele earned the second walk of the inning placing runners on first and second. 
  • Bailey Treadway's RBI double to right-centerfield scored Twitty from second and moved Reele to third. 
  • Rookie Mattie Mentel knocked an RBI single to left field allowing Reele to score. 
  • With two outs, Brewington pushed a bunt single into play earning an RBI when Treadway scored and Mentel scored on an Aggie error.
  • North Carolina A&T cut the Catamount lead in half when the Aggies scored a run in the bottom of the fifth.  
 
 Inside the Box Score 
  • Freshman pitcher Tessa Juett earns the win improving to 3-5 on the season. She gave up three runs on six hits, struck out six, and did not walk a batter.
  • Defensively, the Catamounts sat North Carolina A&T down in order four times in the game including the last two innings, and did not commit an error.  
  • Western Carolina had four hits in the contest. 
  • Treadway led the team with a hit, a run, an RBI, and a double. 
 
North Carolina A&T 6, Western Carolina 5
 
Turning Point 
North Carolina A&T won in a walk-off in the eighth inning with a two-run home run.
 
How it Happened 
  • The Catamounts took the early lead scoring a run in the top of the first thanks to an RBI single by Huneycutt. 
  • A two-run home run in the bottom of the first gave the Aggies a 2-1 lead.
  • Western Carolina tied the game in the third again from an RBI single by Huneycutt.
  • North Carolina A&T capitalized on a pair of singles and two sacrifices to score to take the lead 4-2 in the sixth. 
  • Western Carolina forced extra innings tying the game in the top of the seventh. 
  • With two outs in the seventh, Brewington drew a walk and Henry came up to knock the game-tying two-run home run. 
  • Western Carolina had bases loaded, after placing a runner on second base, on the international tie-breaker rules, with no outs in the eighth. WCU could only manage one run – a sacrifice fly RBI by Reele. 
  • North Carolina A&T hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth for the walk-off win. 
 
 Inside the Box Score 
  • Juett, who also pitched game one, got the start in game two as well tossing the complete game. She takes the loss and falls to 3-6 on the season. She gave up six runs, five earned, on seven hits, and struck out five. 
  • Huneycutt, Henry, and Brewington each had a pair of hits in the game while Huneycutt and Henry also had two RBI.
  • The Catamounts had seven hits in the contest.
