FT. MYERS, Fla. \u2013 Jacksonville softball split a pair of games with Florida Gulf Coast Saturday, defeating the Eagles 7-1 in the first of two contests, but falling 2-1 in the second.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins moved to 28-16 and 12-5 in conference play following the pair of games with one more tilt against the Eagles set for Sunday at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n
In the first game, graduate Alison Carter<\/a> clobbered the Eagles to the tune of five RBIs. Carter knocked in a sac-fly, a three-RBI double and a single RBI double to score five with Sarah Beth Brake<\/a> and Lindsey Chadwick<\/a> tacking on a run each to seal the game.<\/p>\n Carter’s pair of doubles moved the right fielder to 36 in her career which put her in a tie for second place all time in the JU record books, just two doubles shy of the all-time record held by Katie Kelly. Her five RBIs also moved Carter to 99 in her career, just one shy of the century mark for the four-year player from Stafford, Va.<\/p>\n Carter wasn’t the only Dolphin to knock in a double, as both Kate Linkletter<\/a> and Jaida Thomas<\/a> secured a two-bagger, part of a nine-hit night by the ‘Phins.<\/p>\n In the circle, the Dolphins were led by none other than Jacy Harrelson<\/a>, who picked up her 17th\u00a0win of the year. Harrelson allowed just five hits over a full game of work. By virtue of her victory, the sophomore pitcher moved to third place all-time in single season wins. Harrelson is just a single win shy of the second place total of 18 single season wins and 10 back of Sarah Sigrest Caffrey’s record of 27 in first place.<\/p>\n In game two, Brake scored Thomas on a sac-fly for the team’s only run. Brake’s hit was one of just four for the ‘Phins as no player tallied a multi-hit game. Thomas’ lone hit of the second contest was a triple, the fifth of the year for the freshman. She leads the team in triples and is tied for first across the entire ASUN in the stat category.<\/p>\n Reese Wells<\/a> did the majority of the work in the circle, going 5 1\/3 innings and striking out two. Margaret Jenkins<\/a> finished the game, striking out one.<\/p>\n Jacksonville looks to take the series, and the season, over FGCU on Sunday, April 19 with first pitch set for 1 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
