Box Score

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Army West Point softball team fell to Bethune-Cookman, 10-3, on Sunday afternoon at the USF Under Armour Showcase.

At the plate, Ally Snelling picked her third multi-hit game of the weekend after going 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored for the Black Knights (3-12). Taylor Drayton also tallied a pair of hits in three at-bats against the Wildcats (13-15).

Courtney Springman received the nod to start in the circle and went 4.2 innings while not allowing a single earned run and striking out two.

ARMY HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES

Snelling extended her hitting streak to seven games.
Her double in the sixth inning was the first of her career.
Springman turned in her fourth straight start in which she allowed two or fewer earned runs.
Drayton has recorded back-to-back multi-hit games.
Madison Cole notched her career double.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Wildcats were first to get on the board after their leadoff hitter in the first singled, stole second and scored on an Army fielding error.
The Cadets countered in the second and used four hits to plate three runs. It started with a Drayton single through the left side and after the first out of the inning was recorded, Snelling and Swafford knocked back-to-back singles.
With one run already in, Sam Hartman laid down a bunt for a suicide squeeze attempt and it worked to perfection. Swafford was at third when Kristen McPeek hit a sacrifice fly to right and Army went ahead 3-1.
After tying the game up in the bottom half of the second, the Wildcats went ahead 4-3 in the third. With nothing materializing for the Black Knights in the following two innings, Bethune-Cookman grabbed a seven-run advantage, 10-3, by plating six runs on five hits en route to the win.
