UTEP softball continues to struggle, swept by WKU
BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky â UTEP softball fell, 8â3, in the series finale at Western Kentucky Sunday afternoon at the WKU Softball Complex.
With the loss, UTEP moves to 11-30 overall and 3-18 in Conference USA play, while WKU improves to 33-10 (15-6 CUSA).
Western Kentucky struck first in the opening frame, plating two runs on an RBI double and a bases-loaded walk to take a 2-0 lead.
The Miners answered in the top of the fourth in a big way. Kenna Carranza launched a three-run home run to left field, bringing home Ari Leon and Brantley Lavas to give UTEP a 3-2 advantage.
WKU quickly responded in the bottom half of the inning, capitalizing on miscues to score six runs. The Hilltoppers used a combination of a fielding error, timely hits, and RBI efforts to reclaim control at 8-3.
UTEP was limited offensively, recording just two hits on the day. Iliana Munoz and Carranza accounted for the Minersâ hits, with Carranzaâs homer marking the lone extra-base hit. She also drew UTEPâs only walk of the contest.
In the circle, Hannah Jones earned the start and was charged with the loss, falling to 0-3 on the season after tossing 3.0 innings. Ryann Presswood provided 1.0 inning of relief, while Arianna Flores closed out the game with 2.0 scoreless innings, allowing no hits.
