Playing in the regular season finale Saturday in Danville, Kentucky, Coupeville grad Sarah Wright put together another strong performance on the softball diamond.
The Sewanee: University of the South junior collected three hits, including a double, and two RBI as the Tigers split a doubleheader with Centre College.
The biggest of the two RBI came in the opener, where it proved to be the game-winner.
Trailing 3-0 heading to the top of the seventh and final inning, Sewanee rallied for four runs to pull off the stunner.
Freshman pinch hitter Kaila Seger drilled a three-run home run to right-center to tie things up, before Wright lofted a long sac fly to plate the go-ahead run.
Sewanee, which finishes the regular season at 7-24, now advances to the double-elimination Southern Athletic Association Tournament.
The Tigers are expected to begin play Apr. 21, but the opponent and site have yet to be revealed.
Wright, who finally got to play a full college season in her third go-round, after the pandemic trimmed down her first two seasons, is one of just three Tigers to have started all 31 games this season.
She leads Sewanee in at-bats (95) and is tied for first in runs (15) and home runs (2).
Wright has 23 hits — including four doubles — 16 RBI, three walks, and a tidy .607 OPS.
