ABILENE – Senior Hannah Null tossed her 12th complete game of the season Friday night to lead ACU to a 4-3 win over Northwestern State in the first game of a three-game Southland Conference softball series at Wells Field.
Â
The Wildcats improved to 9-12 on the season 3-1 Southland while the Lady Demons dropped to 15-8, 3-1. The series will conclude Saturday with a doubleheader set to start at noon.
Null struck out seven batters and only allowed one earned run in seven innings to earn the win, improving to 8-6 on the season. She is now 46-41 in her career and has thrown 49 complete games.
Â
The Wildcats held the Lady Demons to a shutout until the seventh inning when a single, fielder's choice and an error put runners on first and second. A double scored the Lady Demons' first run with no one outs. Northwestern State plated two more runs in the seventh before Null struck out Sidney Salmans to end the game.
Â
The Wildcats put runs on the board early when Donelle Johnson was patient at the plate forcing a 10-pitch walk to lead off the bottom of the first and then scored two batters later on a Peyton Hedrick single. Holly Neese followed Hedrick's RBI single with her fourth home run of the year to give ACU a 3-0 lead.
Â
Johnson got things going in the second inning with an infield single and then scored on a double by Braegan Hamilton to give Null and the Wildcats a 4-0 lead. Six Wildcats collected hits, including Hamilton who was the only ACU hitter with two hits in the game.
