Winner, winner, (Southern fried) chicken dinner.
Powered by Coupeville grad Sarah Wright, the Sewanee: University of the South softball squad rolled to a doubleheader sweep of Johnson University Saturday in Tennessee.
Winning 10-0 and 10-4, the Tigers notched their first victories of the new campaign, and sit at 2-4 on the season.
Sewanee returns to action next weekend, when it travels to Georgia for back-to-back twinbills.
Wright and Co. play a doubleheader at Agnes Scott College Saturday, Feb. 22, then bounce over to Wesleyan College for two more games the next day.
The Tigers play the first 15 games of their 40-game schedule on the road, not making their home debut until March 7.
Facing off with Johnson University Saturday, Sewanee controlled the action from start to finish.
Wright caught both games of the doubleheader, collecting three hits and two RBI while holding down the #5 slot in the lineup.
On the season, the former Coupeville star is hitting .313 with five hits, three RBI, two walks, and an on-base percentage of .389.
That puts her in the top three on the team in all five offensive categories.
A freshman at Sewanee, Wright is studying politics in between softball games and practices.
During her time at CHS, she was class Valedictorian, while playing volleyball, soccer, basketball, and softball.
Wright capped her prep softball career by being tabbed as the 2019 North Sound Conference Defensive Player of the Year, while helping the Wolves advance to the state tourney for the third time in program history.
