Yellow Jackets Swarm Ahead Early to Beat NCCU


ATLANTA, Ga. – North Carolina Central University's relievers did not allow an earned run in 5 2/3 innings of work but the damage had already been done as host Georgia Tech defeated NCCU 7-0 on Tuesday afternoon at Shirley Clements Mewborn Field.
 
The Yellow Jackets scored six runs in the first to grab control of the contest from the onset and defeat the Lady Eagles for a second straight day. Georgia Tech improved to 7-14 overall and NCCU fell to 1-20.
 
Freshman Breanna Carter pitched the first three innings of relief for the Lady Eagles and junior Jennifer Allison hurled the final 2 2/3 innings. GT's last two runs in the first and its only other tally in the third were all unearned due to an error and a passed ball.
 
The Yellow Jackets scored the half dozen runs in the first off of five hits, including three extra-base knocks, and one walk and one NCCU error. The opening surge was highlighted by a three-run homer off the bat of sophomore Kelsey Chisholm, her first of the season down the left field line.
 
Eight different Georgia Tech batters hit safely as the hosts outhit the Lady Eagles, 8-3. Junior Jessica Kowalewicz scored twice and senior Maddie Lionberger capped the Jackets first-inning surge with a two-run double.
 
NCCU left six runners on base, including four Lady Eagles stranded in the first three innings. The visitor's best chance at scoring came in the second when junior Jenny Tracy poked a leadoff single up the middle and senior Kayleigh Brueck followed with a walk.
 
Freshman starter Jenna Goodrich kept the Lady Eagles off the board despite runners on base in five of seven innings to collect her second complete game of the season. Goodrich (2-5) fanned eight batters and scattered her three hits allowed over three different innings.
 
Junior Dominique Wilson had a single and a walk for NCCU and freshman Jassonah Pettaway collected her first collegiate base knock with a pinch-hit single in the sixth.
 
Senior London Booker (1-8) took the loss for the Lady Eagles allowing five runs (four earned) in the start.
 
NCCU continues its spring break road trip with a doubleheader at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina, on Wednesday at 2 p.m.
