CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2013 In the second day of the UNC Charlotte Invitational, the Jacksonville Dolphins split a pair of games, defeating Boston 4-0 in a rematch from Friday’s opener but later falling to UNC Charlotte 11-2 in five innings.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins sit at 7-7 prior to the final day of play in Charlotte, facing off against the host school at 12:30 on ESPN+ Sunday afternoon. Prior to Sunday’s tilt, the ‘Phins are 1-3 in tournament play in their first road tournament of the year.<\/p>\n
JU started the day with a shutout win over BU, redeeming the day prior’s walk-off loss. All of the Dolphins’ runs were collected in the second frame, with a trio of freshman scoring all four. Vic Brunette<\/a>, Jaida Thomas<\/a> and Madisyn Weathers<\/a> got their teammates home, with Brunette’s two-RBI single opening the game.<\/p>\n Of JU’s seven total hits, five came from the freshman class including two from Thomas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jacy Harrelson<\/a> picked up the shutout win, moving her season to 3-2 thus far. Harrelson went 4 1\/3, allowing just three hits. Jordan White<\/a> came on in relief, pitching 2 2\/3s, allowing one hit.<\/p>\n Against the host institution however, things looked a little different. JU tied Saturday afternoon’s game up at 1-1 after the top of the second, but a four-run bottom of the frame by Charlotte and a six-run third got things just too far out of reach.<\/p>\n Sarah Beth Brake<\/a> knocked a homer in the second inning to get her side on the board. Weathers did her damage in the third with a double to left field, scoring Kiersten Stevens<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jacksonville had six hits on the day, half of which came from the freshmen. Brake’s homer was her first of the young season and the team’s seventh overall.<\/p>\n Thomas and Weathers are second and third respectively on the team in hits after 14 games. Behind a tie for first with Kate Linkletter<\/a> and fellow frosh Emma Mansfield<\/a>, Thomas has 12 hits with Weathers just behind at 11 hits.<\/p>\n Thomas, Weathers and Brunette are all tied at six RBIs this year, good for fourth on the team.<\/p>\n JU concludes tournament play in the Queen City with one last game against Charlotte before returning home for yet another tournament inside the Pruitt Softball Complex.<\/p>\n The JU\/UNF Classic begins Friday, Feb. 27 at 3:00 p.m. as the Dolphins meet DePaul for the second straight year for a pair of games.\u00a0\u00a0
