She’s in there fighting.
Coupeville grad Sarah Wright found some success on the softball field Saturday in Tennessee, even if her college team didn’t.
Despite picking up a hit, a walk, and an RBI, the former Wolf found herself on the losing end of things, as Sewanee: The University of the South dropped a home doubleheader to Georgia’s Berry College.
The Tigers rallied from five runs down in the opener, and had the tying run on base in the final inning, thanks to Wright, but were edged 6-5.
Game two wasn’t quite as much fun, as Berry crushed the ball in a 15-0 win called after five innings.
The losses drop Sewanee to 1-3 as it begins its comeback from the pandemic shutdown.
The Tigers will be off for two weeks now, hosting a doubleheader against Centre College of Kentucky March 20.
Currently, Sewanee has a 10-game schedule, with only home games.
Through the first four of those contests, Wright has been at the forefront of the Tiger offense.
The catcher leads her squad in on-base percentage (.538), and is tied for first in hits (4), RBI (2), and walks (3).
She’s second in batting average (.400) and third in slugging percentage (.400).
