15 Hits, Taylor Lloyd Shutout Powers Falcons to Victory Over Shorter

ROME, GA. – The University of Montevallo softball team run rules Shorter, 11-0 in the first game of their three-game series on Friday, Apr. 6.
 
After both teams exchanged zeros in the first inning, Montevallo loaded the bases in the second inning with a double from Molly Pendley, a single by Maddie Taylor and an infield single off the bat of Olivia Bergert. Madison Fargo connected on a ball to left field for her first collegiate home run to put the Falcons up 4-0. With the grand slam, Fargo already had a career-high four RBI in the game. Ariana Pinder followed up with back-to-back longballs as she hit her seventh homer of the season as UM put up five runs in the second inning.
 
Pinder would drive in another run with a sacrifice fly to center to score Maddie Taylor. Bentlee Stiner would drive two runs home with a single to center. Molly Pendley led of the top of the fourth with a solo blast to left for her sixth homer of the season. In the fifth inning, Bentlee Stiner would record her fourth base knock of the game with a two-run homer to center. Sydnee Reaves would score on the home run for her second run of the game.
