UTPB Softball rallied after dropping its first Heartland Conference game of the season 3-0 to take a 3-0 game two win Friday afternoon over Oklahoma Christian.

Holly Herrington picked up her third win of the season and first shutout of the year in blanking the Eagles 3-0 in the second game of the day. 

Despite being out-hit 6-3 in the game, the Falcons made their hits count. Jennie Quam led off the bottom of the first with a double inside the third base foul line and scored later in the inning on a missed fly ball in right off the bat of Nikki Brailsford. She scored a batter later when Taleas Marble hit her second home run over the wall in left to put UTPB ahead 3-0.

Herrington left runners stranded in each of the first four innings of the game and the Eagles failed to score despite their leadoff batter reaching base each of those times.

Game one of the weekend belonged to the Eagles as OCU scored a run off a pair of hits in each the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. 

They added to their advantage with an RBI single into the outfield in the top of the seventh to claim the opener 3-0.

The teams meet in the rubber match of the series Saturday with first pitch scheduled for noon.
