Partee & Diaz Combine To Go 6-for-8 Versus Alabama A&M

 
ITTA BENA, Miss. – The Mississippi Valley State University softball program got two-thirds of its hits from the duo of Taniya Partee and Michelle Diaz as the Diamond Devils' offense played well in a 13-6 setback.
 
The Basics:
 
  • Score
    • Alabama A&M – 13
    • Mississippi Valley – 6
 
  • Records
    • Mississippi Valley (1-17, 0-7 SWAC)
    • Alabama A&M (14-16, 1-5 SWAC)

    • Bulldogs Lead 63-51 (44.7%)
 
  • Winning Streak
    • Bulldogs (W9) / Diamond Devils' Last Win: April 5, 2024 (6-3)
 
Diamond Devils' Top Performers:
 
  • Diaz and Partee had many similarities as they both went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a double, but the former stole a base and logged just one RBI while the latter drove in two.
 
  • Sheridan Kynard walked two times and scored in each scenario, aided by a steal on one of those.
 
  • Ashtyn Clark plated a pair at the dish on a first inning single and fanned five batters in four frames as a pitcher.
 
  • Kelsey Kaluna-Thomas roped the third and final double of the afternoon for the home nine whereas Madison Wesley was the lone player with both a free pass as well as a knock.
 
Next:
  
  • Wake up a little earlier than usual and join softball for a Saturday doubleheader (11 a.m. / 1 p.m.) as Coach Riddick-Waters' crew attempt to cage the Bulldogs.
