April 24, 2013 | Softball
Boiling Springs, N.C. - The Gardner-Webb softball team will wrap up its 2013 regular season slate this weekend, as the Runnin' Bulldogs host the Radford Highlanders for a three-game Big South Conference series on Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28th, at Varsity Field in Boiling Springs, N.C.
GAME TIMES
The Runnin' Bulldogs will take on the Highlanders in a twin bill on Saturday, April 27th, with the first pitch slated for 1 p.m. The two teams will then play the third and final game of the three-game series on Sunday, April 28th, at 2 p.m.
2013 SENIOR DAY - SATURDAY, APRIL 27TH
Gardner-Webb will recognize four seniors - Jordyn Arrowood, Brittney Morrow, Melinda Dulkowski and Presley Wesson on Saturday afternoon prior to the doubleheader with Radford at 1 p.m.
LOOKING TO FINISH OUT STRONG AT HOME
The Runnin' Bulldogs will wrap up its 2013 regular season slate this weekend at home versus the Radford Highlanders. GWU is only 1-10 at home so far this season and will look to finish the year out strong at Varsity Field.
GETTING HOT AT THE RIGHT TIME
The Runnin' Bulldogs are getting hot at the right time, as Gardner-Webb has gone 7-3 overall over its last 10 games. GWU, who has posted two three-game winning streaks over its last 10 games, has gone 5-3 in its last eight conference showdowns.
SWINGING THE BAT WELL
Since sweeping PC in a road doubleheader back on April 9th, GWU has had six different players hit over .300 during its last 10 games. Sophomore Taylar Pridgen and freshman Jill Blank are both hitting over .400 over the last 10 games, while Savannah Burns has drove in a team-high 13 RBIs during that span.
PITCHING KEY IN GWU'S LATE SEASON RUN
It has been the GWU pitching that has been key in GWU's late season run, as over the Runnin' Bulldogs last 10 games, in which Gardner-Webb has posted a record of 7-3 overall, juniors Ashley Rhyne and Jessica Childers have combined to go 7-3 overall with seven complete games. Rhyne has gone 5-1 overall, while Childers has posted two wins and an ERA of 1.24 in her last five appearances. Fellow junior hurler Alyssa Gutierrez also tallied a save for GWU.
ON DECK FOR THE RUNNIN' BULLDOGS
Gardner-Webb will have a week and a half off, as the Runnin' Bulldogs will next be in action on May 9th in the first round of the 2013 Big South Conference Softball Championship hosted by the Winthrop Eagles in Rock Hill, S.C. Seedings and game times are yet to be determined.
