LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Tuesday’s scheduled doubleheader between the University of West Alabama and Tuskegee University has been canceled due to wet field conditions on the TU campus.  The Tigers return to the diamond on Thursday, April 16, hosting West Georgia.

UWA (37-10, 9-8 GSC) dropped a doubleheader this past Saturday to the Wolves of UWG.  Thursday’s re-match at the UWA Softball Complex was originally scheduled for March 13, but Mother Nature forced the postponement.  UWG topped the Tigers 8-4 in the opening contest before staving off a Red and White rally, 5-4.

UWA begins the week with a .344 hitting clip along with 66 home runs on the season.  The home run tally is a new single-season mark for the program and ranks tied for third in the nation with UAH.  VSU sits atop the homer leaderboard with 73 followed by Angelo State with 69.  Individually, Emily White posted a team-best six hits over last week’s four-game stretch; four of the hits were for extra bases.  The senior first baseman drove in two of UWA’s four runs in the opening contest with UWG.

The UWG double dip is slated to start at 3 p.m. at the UWA Softball Complex. Saturday’s duel with nationally-ranked VSU will be Senior Day, honoring six Tiger seniors.  First pitch is set for Noon.  Sunday’s twinbill with UWF is scheduled for 1 p.m.  Live stats will be available for all three GSC series at athletics.uwa.edu.
