On Saturday, April 8, the UTEP softball team and Western Kentucky split the two-game Saturday series at Helen of Troy Field. The Miners banked on reliable pitching in the earlier game, but could not find the same groove in the following contest.
The orange and blue were victorious in game one, 10-2, but the Hilltoppers quickly earned revenge with the 18-8 triumph.
Now, both teams sit tied at 5-9 in Conference USA action, which puts Sunday’s third and decisive game with that much more on the line as both units fight for their playoff lives. In C-USA the top eight teams earn a bid in the tournament that starts May 10.
