Box Score Boiling Springs, NC – Wofford softball conceded two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to lose in walk-off fashion to the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs 7-6 on Wednesday, March 27.

Wofford manufactured two runs in the fifth inning to take a lead first by working back-to-back walks from Gracie Parker and Hope Ingle followed by an Abbi Campbell fielder's choice that turned into Hannah Maddox (who pinch ran for Parker) scoring off a Gardner-Webb error to tie the game at four. Two batters later
Kate Platte scored Lilly Compton (pinch running for Ingle) off a sacrifice fly to make it a 5-4 ballgame.

Platte ended the night as Wofford's most productive hitter going 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs and a stolen base. The redshirt freshman has now strung together consecutive games with multiple hits, multiple RBIs and a stolen base.

Hannah Maddox added Wofford's final run of the night in the sixth inning with an RBI single to left field that scored Bergan Needles, who was pinch running for Megan Towery who doubled to start the inning. The double from Towery was the first double of her career and the second extra base hit in three games from the freshman (homered in game two at Mercer).

Both Hope Ingle and Abbi Campbell knocked in RBIs in the third inning to start scoring for the Terriers. Ingle's RBI is her 14th of the season and increases her team lead while Campbell's RBI is number six on the year to move her up to a tie for fifth on the team.

Defensively Wofford threw three pitchers with Kendall Wylie garnering her second start of the season and her first since starting against St. Francis (PA) on February 16, 2024. The freshman lasted one inning and surrendered a run on no hits and five walks.

Sydney Baker then came in to pitch the next 4.1 innings for the Terriers and posted a stat line of seven hits, four runs (all earned), no walks and a strikeout. The appearance is her second of the season and she has taken a no decision in each appearance.

Wofford's pitcher of record ended up being its third pitcher of the night, Abby Greenwood. The freshman gave up two hits and a walk to load the bases in the seventh inning and then the walk-off double to fall to 5-8 on the season.

Up next for the Terriers a three-game homestand against Samford, starting on Friday, March 29, at 1 and 3 PM with the series finale occurring the next day at 1 PM. All three games will be streamed on ESPN+.
