Softball Splits Doubleheader Against Adelphi

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University softball team split its doubleheader against the Adelphi University Panthers on Wednesday evening at University Softball Stadium. Haleigh Thomas pitched a 3-0 complete game shutout against the Panthers in game one before the visitors took game two 5-2. Saint Leo is now 22-10 on the season while Adelphi is 7-11 in 2024.

Thomas pitched a one-hit shutout for the second time in two weeks leading the Lions to a 3-0 win in the opening game. Morgan Shannon pitched two innings in the second game allowing no runs on no hits as she retired all six batters faced.

Shyanne Waller led the offense with four hits and a run scored. Hope Epps defense was on point again as she made a multitude of incredible catches in centerfield. Epps went two-for-four at the plate with an RBI and a run scored. Madyson Coe had a pair of doubles as she was three-for-six at the plate with an RBI. Briana Neal also had a multi-hit day as she was two-for-five with a run scored.
