Nink’s walk-off single gives UE 5-4 win

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – For the second weekend in a row, outfielder Jenna Nink had the game-winning hit for the University of Evansville softball team, delivering a 2-out single in the 7th inning to give the Purple Aces a 5-4 win over Alcorn State in Friday's Hub City Challenge opener.

Evansville (7-4) held a 4-3 lead entering the seventh before the Braves (7-5) rallied to tie it up.  In the bottom half of the frame, Nink's single brought in Jessica Fehr to clinch the win.  Fehr was a perfect 3-for-3 on Friday while adding two runs, two RBI and a walk.  Marah Wood added a double and two RBI as the Aces picked up nine hits.  Izzy Vetter picked up the win for UE, tossing the final two innings.
 
Alcorn State took a 2-0 lead to open the third inning before the Aces knotted it right up.  Alexa Davis was hit by a pitch to lead the inning off before Sydney Weatherford singled and advanced on the throw to put runners on second and third.  Marah Wood came through with a 2-RBI double to left center.
 
Two more runs crossed the plate in the fourth to give Evansville its first lead of the day.  Haley Woolf, Mackenzie McFeron and Davis each singled to load the bases.  With two outs, Jessica Fehr brought in a pair of runs with a single.  Alcorn State got one of the runs back in the fifth before a 2-out single tied it in the 7th.
 
UE was unphased by the rally and used more 2-out magic to respond.  Fehr picked up her third hit of the day with one out before Alyssa Barela picked up a walk in a pinch-hit appearance with two outs.  That brought Jenna Nink to the plate, who delivered once again with a single up the middle to clinch a 5-4 win.
 
Saturday's action features an 11 a.m. rematch with Alcorn State before a 2 p.m. contest versus Southern Mississippi.
