Box Score

ABILENE—The Wildcats closed out their weekend series with SFA on Saturday afternoon, falling 8-0 in five innings. Much like the games on Friday night, the Ladyjacks were able to jump out to an early lead and ACU struggled to find a way to cut into it.

SFA hit two solo homeruns in the top of the first inning to take the early 2-0 lead. They would put up six runs in the third and there would be no scoring from there. The Wildcats threatened in the bottom of the second putting runners on second and third with just one out, but were unable to drive them in. They got a runner to third with just one out in the next inning as well, but the final two batters struck out to end the inning.
