Burris tallies four hits in doubleheader split

MELISSA, Texas – The Wildcats started their day with another solid win over Colorado State before dropping a close game to the host, North Texas. Riley White earned her third win of the young season, giving up just two hits and one earned run in five innings of work. The Wildcats played their toughest game against the Mean Green in recent history, falling 3-1.  
 
HOW IT HAPPENED: 
Game 1 | ACU vs. Colorado State
  • A solo homerun in the bottom of the first put the Rams on the board first.
  • The Wildcats tacked on two runs in the top of the third with both Sadie Eichelberger and Shaylee Alani driving in runs.
  • Riley White got the pinch-hit single to start the top of the fifth and Logan Gaspar ran the bases, eventually coming home on a passed ball to push the lead to 3-1.
  • Hannah Benavides pitched the final two innings for the Wildcats giving up just two hits and an earned run to grab the save.
 
Game 2 | ACU vs. North Texas
  • The Mean Green were on the board early with an RBI double in the bottom of the first.
  • A two-run shot for UNT pushed their lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the third.
  • ACU threatened in the top of the fourth with runners on second and third with only one out but were unable to get a runner home.
  • Isabel Martinez scored the lone run for the Wildcats. Martinez pinch ran after a Calie Burris single and reached home after an errant throw allowed Avery Miloch to reach base safely.
 
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE:
  • Burris had a nice day at the plate, going 4-6 on the day with a double.
  • Eichelberger and Alani accounted for the only RBIs on the day.
  • Riley White earned her third win of the year through five appearances. As a freshman, White totaled just four wins.
  • Matti Reiling had reached base safely in each of the Wildcats first nine games and had that streak snapped against North Texas.
 
ON DECK: 
  • The Wildcats have one game remaining this weekend and will be back on the field bright and early tomorrow. ACU will take on Nevada at 10 a.m. to close out the Tracy Beard College Classic.
