After dropping both games on day one of the Faulkner Invitational, the Eagles finished strong with a 4-1 win over Spring Hill.

Sophomore Missy Duke pitched the first four innings for Faulkner and gave up only two hits. She finished her run with a strikeout and allowed no hits.

Junior Katy Wiggins took the circle for the final three innings and gave up three hits and one earned run while tallying five strikeouts.

Haley Munroe and Eden Harris were both 2-for-4 and Munroe added an RBI. Shauna Suttle and Erin Pierce were both 2-for-3 with an RBI and Scottie Wilkes was 1-for-3 with an RBI. Courtney Barber was also 2-for-3.
