WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue softball team is scheduled for a five-game weekend at the UNCG Invitational in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Boilermakers go into the tournament sporting the third-best record in the Big Ten at 8-3.
The Purdue squad is scheduled to face-off with Fairfield, RV North Carolina, and UNC Greensboro in the three day set. Over the course of the weekend, Purdue is slated for doubleheaders Friday and Saturday while ending with a single game Sunday.
While the Boilermakers are coming off a split weekend at The Spring Games with an even 3-3 result, pitcher Sydney Bates continued her hot start to the season, improving her record to 5-1 while adding a complete eight-inning game to her resume. With the weekend's results, Bates owns 39 strikeouts, a 1.30 ERA and .91 WHIP in 43 innings pitched on the season. Bates also produced a 0.91 ERA on the weekend.
After a two home run weekend, Madison Douglass leads the team in batting average (.391), slugging % (.739), on-base % (.517), OPS (1.256) and home runs (2) in 10 games played. The senior also led the team after creating 6.89 runs for the team.
Purdue leads all Big Ten teams in runs scored (71), hits (85), RBIs (65), doubles (20), triples (6) and total bases (132) heading into the weekend.
In Greensboro, the Boilermaker bats will be tested as they could face four pitchers with ERAs below 3.80 including Alyssa Stanley from North Carolina who has a 0.91 ERA through four appearances and one complete game. From UNCG, Morgan Scott has obtained 36 strikeouts in 32 innings along with a shutout in six appearances.
Fairfield will open its season Saturday against Purdue. Senior Amanda Ulzheimer comes back as last year's leading hitter for the Stags. Ulzheimer led the team with a .392 batting average and .430 on-base %. The Stags also have three pitchers returning that held ERAs below 3.00 the season before.
