This past week the Tornados swept Montreat and split a double- header with Lees-McRae. In the opening contest against Montreat (0-8) on Valentines Day, the Tornados jumped out to an early lead putting up two rans in the P‘ iiming and adding another in the 3'“* before Montreat could reply with 2 rans in the top of the 5*. The next iiming saw the Tornados answer back with a ran and sophomore Jennifer Gift (3-2 on the season) slammed the door shut preserving the 4-2 victory. Game two against Montreat was a bit of a different story. After falling behind on an early Montreat homer, the Tornados took a 2-1 lead in the third iiming. In the 4* and 5* innings Montreat scored one ran each to reclaim the lead at 3 -2. In the bottom of the 7* the Tornados still trailing but battled through and won on a game winning RBIby junior Katie Thornburg that scored sophomore Kristina Clayton who went 3-4 with two runs scored for the game. Jennifer Gift picked up her second win of the day and improved her record to 4-2. On Saturday the Tornados welcomed Lees-McRae to campus and lost the opening contest 4-0, snapping their 5 game winning streak. In the second half of the double- header the Tornados took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 6‘*' inning thanks to a wild pitch by the Bobcats pitcher After knotting things up in the top of the 7* inning Lees-McRae took the lead in top of the 8* by a score of 2-1. The Tornados however got that ran back and won the game on a double by senior Kristen Tettemer that pushed sophomore Jennifer Brown across the plate. Sophomore Jennifer Gift (5-3) picked up another win after relieving senior Aimee Rogers who gave up one ran over 6 2/ 3'“* innings. The Tomados finish off their home stand this weekend with double-headers against Mountain State on Friday and Milligan on Sunday.
