The Huntingdon softball team earned three of the Great South Athletic Conference’s top awards for a second consecutive year.
 
With the release of the GSAC All-Conference awards, senior catcher Brittany Richardson was named Player of the Year, senior Melissa McClure was named Pitcher of the Year and head coach Gynger Williams was named Coach of the Year. A total of 14 Huntingdon players were recognized as either All-Conference, All-Freshmen, All-Academic or for Sportsmanship.
 
This is McClure’s first selection as Pitcher of the Year, but the third straight season a Huntingdon Pitcher has been named Pitcher of the Year. Entering the GSAC tournament, McClure led the conference in wins (13) and ERA (1.88) and was fifth in strikeouts (81) this season. She also pitched three shutouts and two no-hitters, including a perfect game this season.

The bottom of the lineup came through in a big way for the Auburn Montgomery softball team against 15th-ranked Spring Hill.

Having dropped an 8-2 decision in Game 1 of today’s doubleheader, the seventh-ranked Warhawks needed a win in the nightcap to remain a half-game ahead of the Badgers in the Southern States Athletic Conference West Division.

With the game tied at two entering the seventh, No. 7 hitter Lauren Shaw led off with a double to right-center. Ainsley Faulk then executed a perfect sacrifice bunt to move pinch-runner Katie Cornelius over to second, and Jennifer Jenkins lifted a game-winning sacrifice fly to left field to clinch the crucial victory.

The Warhawks conclude the regular season at 39-8 (17-7 SSAC). Spring Hill is 38-10 (16-7 SSAC) with two games left to play before the SSAC tournament.

Playing in a steady rain, AUM pitchers struggled with their command in Game 1, throwing five wild pitches and issuing eight walks.
