Hampton Falls In Game One to Elon, 9-1

ELON, N.C. (April 19, 2024) … Hampton University softball team opened the three-game series against Elon with a loss 9-1. While the Lady Pirates issued four walks in the first frame, only one run came across. HU would make it all square later on in the third. However, the Phoenix took control in the fourth scoring five runs. Elon scored three more runs in the sixth inning ending the contest. 

Hampton found themselves in trouble early with Elon threatening to score in the bottom of the first. HU's bullpen loaded up the bases with three walks early on in the frame.  While the Lady Pirates gave up another walk, it would be run to cross for the Phoenix in the first. Hampton got out of the stanza with a strike out from Angelina Branch. 

Later on in the third inning, Coach Monique White's squad found a way to tie it up 1-1. Elon started out the frame with consecutive strikeouts. HU's Carmynn Bonner gave the Lady Pirates a spark on a double down the left field line. The Dayton, Ohio native, advanced to third on a passed ball. Hampton got another baserunner with Taylor Ivey reaching first on a walk. Bonner was able to score on a fielding error by the Phoenix. 

Elon would start to take control of the contest in the bottom of the fourth. Before Hampton could record an out, the Phoenix hit a two-run blast to right field. EU only recorded one more hit in the frame but drew two walks resulting in three more runs scoring. Throughout the remaining two innings Hampton's bats were held silent only recording two hits.

During the sixth frame, Elon's offense continued to produce. With the Phoenix taking advantage of an error by Hampton and tallying two hits, three runs came across ending the contest.
