Ten Strikeout Effort Aids Lady Tigers In Opening Round Win Over Lane

Albany, Georgia-A phenomenal pitching performance from junior Milani Sablan proved to be the difference as SIAC East Division Champion and #1 seed Edward Waters won their opening round matchup over West Division #4 seed Lane College, 4-2 at the 2023 Cricket SIAC Softball Championship at the Gordon Sports Complex.

The victory for the Lady Tigers extends their win streak to now 13 and clinches their first 40 win campaign in the history of the program

Edward Waters (40-7, 19-3 SIAC) cracked the scoreboard first in the bottom half of the first inning when Katie Goodin came home to score off of a Lane (34-14, 11-6 SIAC) error to take a 1-0 lead. Both squads went scoreless in the second before the Lady Tigers cashed in, in the bottom of the third inning. SIAC First Team All-Conference selection Kylah Gardner hit an RBI single to left field to double up the EWU advantage to 2-0.

Lane was able to cut the lead in half in the top of the fourth, thanks to a solo homer to make it a 2-1 ballgame. The Lady Tigers were able to pick up two critical insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth inning thanks to an RBI double from Gardner and an RBI single from Jazmine Lamug to give the Purple & Orange a three-run advantage. The Dragons would not go away as in the top of the sixth, they added another run to cut the deficit to two, but Sablan and the Tigers were able to thwart a late comeback attempt to seal their first SIAC Tournament victory in program history.

Kylah Gardner went 2-for-3 with three RBI's at the plate to lead the Lady Tigers offensive efforts. In the circle, Sablan was dominant picking up a complete game victory and striking out ten Dragons in the process.

Edward Waters will advance to the Winner's Bracket, where they will face defending conference champion Tuskegee at 5:30pm.
