TOWSON, Md.  – The Towson University softball team faced UNCW in the final of a three game Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) series Sunday afternoon. A 5^th inning homerun by Leah Mears proved to be enough as Mikaela Guy's complete game sealed a 2-1 Towson win to end the weekend.
 
Key Stats:

• Leah Mears hit her second homer of the season and had two RBIs.
• Addison Miller and Alyssa Myint both recorded hits as well.
• Mikaela Guy earned her fourth win of the season after pitching a complete game and allowing three hits and one run with three strikeouts over 7.0 innings of work.
• Taylor Barlow receives the loss for the Seahawks after allowing three hits and two runs with three strikeouts over 5.0 innings.

 
How it Happened:

• Alyssa Myint led off the game with a single, but the Tiger's couldn't capitalize and take an early lead.
• Mikaela Guy sent the Seahawks down in order in the 1^st.
• UNCW opened the scoring in the 2^nd and led 1-0 two innings in.
• Diving stops from Myint in the bottom of the 3^rd and from Mackenzie Gorczyca in the bottom of the 4^th helped Guy keep the Tiger's deficit at one.
• A streak of eight consecutive Tiger's being retired was broken by an Addison Miller single in the top of the 5^th, the next batter Leah Mears went the opposite way for a two-run homerun to flip the one run lead in Towson's favor.
• Guy worked around a baserunner in the 5^th inning to hold onto the slim lead.
• With a runner on in the bottom of the 6^th and two outs, a fly ball to the warning track was hauled in by a leaping Kaci Benton to keep the Tigers in front entering the 7^th.
• After the Tiger's went down in order in the top of the 7^th, a one-out error didn't phase Guy as she sealed the Tiger's 2-1 win with her third strikeout of the game and her tenth of the weekend.

Up Next:
The Tiger's now return home to begin a five-game homestand which will begin with Towson hosting Villanova on Wednesday, April 15 at 3 p.m. for a midweek non-conference clash.
