TWU SOFTBALL SPLITS SERIES WITH THE JAVELINAS

DENTON, Texas (March 15, 2025) – The Texas Woman's University softball team bounced back into the win column Friday evening after splitting a doubleheader with Texas A&M-Kingsville. After falling 2-0 in the first game at Dianne Baker Field, TWU (13-9, 9-9) rallied in Game two for a 4-3 victory over TAMUK (16-13, 11-7). The Pioneers jumped out to an early lead in the second game and held on to secure the win.

Despite a two-RBI home run by the Javelinas in the fourth inning, both teams were held in check by strong pitching. Allison Gonzalez of TWU and TAMUK's Arianna Alaniz engaged in a pitching duel, with the Javelinas ultimately edging the Pioneers in the opener.

TWU capitalized on an early run in Game two with the return of freshman pitcher Randi Crawford, whose solid outing along with strong defense kept the Javelinas off the scoreboard until the fourth inning. TAMUK made a late push in the seventh, but it wasn't enough, as Texas Woman's sealed the victory.

IMPACT PLAYERS (Game 2)

PIONEER POWER MOMENTS
Game 2 (TWU won 4-3):

  • In the bottom of the first inning, Marissa Espinoza crossed the plate after Brynlie Dunkin grounded out to shortstop, driving in the game's first run.

  • The Pioneers extended their lead in the second inning with back-to-back runs from Vivica Hernandez and Madison Altman. First, Reid reached base on a fielder's choice, advancing to second, while Hernandez scored on a sacrifice bunt. Then, Altman came home on a double play after a fielding error by the catcher. 

  • A fourth-inning RBI double to right-center by Lauryn Davies, which scored Madison Altman, provided TWU with the winning run. The Pioneers held on to their lead and fended off a late seventh-inning rally by the Javelinas to secure a 4-3 victory.

HEAR FROM HEAD COACH GAY MCNUTT
"In Game one, Allison Gonzalez threw very well, but we just couldn't get anything going offensively to help her out,"McNutt said. "I was really pleased with how we came out in Game two and took control of the game. It was great to have Randi back in the circle, and she threw a great game," McNutt said.

Next Up
TWU is back on the diamond tomorrow, March 16, when they take on Texas A&M-International at 1 and 3 p.m. at Dianne Baker Field in Denton, Texas.
