BROWNWOOD, Texas - The Howard Payne University softball team wrapped up its three-game set vs. McMurry University on Sunday afternoon. A late three-run seventh inning from the Warhawks gave them a 5-3 victory.

The game was pushed back to a Sunday start due to weather conditions on Saturday and Howard Payne looked good to start the game. Scoring one run in the bottom of the first on a nifty double steal that brought Jones across the plate to put HPU up 1-0.

The Lady Jackets would collect two more runs in the second after a Bri Davis double scored Gabrielle Roque and Kendra Evans followed with a single up the middle to score Davis and give HPU a 3-0 lead.

McMurry would respond by getting one run across the plate in the top of the third inning to make it 3-1 and both sides would go on to swap a scoreless sixth inning. 

The Warhawks then were able to put runners into scoring position and overcome the 3-2 deficit with their three-run top of the seventh. Cheyanne West settled in and closed out the side to help McMurry register the 5-3 victory.

Kayla Boucher finished 2-3 from the plate with a double and Bri Davis scored one run and batted in another while finishing 1-3 with a double. Kendra Evans delivered just over four innings of solid play in the circle, finishing with two strikeouts an unearned run while facing 21 batters.

Next up for the Lady Jackets is another home series, this time vs. Concordia University. The first set of games will get underway on Friday, April 13th beginning at 2:00 PM. Tune to HPUsports.com for links to live stats, video and more.
