Ludlam, Scott Lead Paladins To Victory In Furman Softball Invitational

Paladins Play Saturday At 4:30 & 7 P.M.

Greenville, S.C. – Sophomore Lauralee Scott tossed a complete game and senior Riley Ludlam collected three hits and three RBIs to propel Furman to a 10-2 victory in five innings Friday evening on the opening day of the Furman Softball Invitational at Pepsi Stadium.
 
Furman (2-2) took control with five runs in the bottom of the first inning. Ainsley Yoshizumi knocked in Ahslee Lykins to give the Paladins the lead before Furman loaded the bases and stretched its advantage to 4-0 on freshman Sylvia Burroughs bases-clearing double into the gap. Hannah Poole drove in Burroughs two batters later to stake the Paladins to a 5-0 lead.
 
Ludlam belted her first home run of the season, a two-run shot to right field, in the bottom of the second and drove in another run the following frame with a double to left field. The Paladins capped the scoring in the four innings when Hana Hashioka reached on a leadoff double and Furman plated runs on a Caitlin Goldwait sacrifice fly and an RBI single by Lykins.
 
Scott (1-1), a native of Greenwood, S.C., allowed just six hits and two unearned runs over five innings while fanning a career-high eight batters to earn her first victory over the season. 
 
Lykins finished the night 3-for-4 with a pair of runs while Ludlam went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs. Burroughs and Hashioka each collected two hits.
 
Starter Liv Vadas suffered the loss for Sacred Heart after surrendering seven runs on six hits. She recorded just four outs. Amy Petrovish went 2-for-3 at the plate for the Pioneers.
 
The Furman Invitational continues at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The Paladins are back in action at 4:30 p.m. versus Binghamton before taking on Towson at 7 p.m. Both games will air live on ESPN+.
