ABILENE, TEXAS – McMurry University posted three-run rallies in the fifth and sixth innings to wind up a splendid home weekend Saturday, April 22.
 
Head coach David McNally's War Hawks, moving to 21-10 overall and 13-8 in the American Southwest Conference, was locked up in a pitcher's duel between sophomore Baylee Fulps (San Angelo, Texas) and Concordia University's Delaney Loosemore for the first four frames. Loosemore limited the Maroon and White to just three hits, while Fulps was amid her fifth successive appearance with three or fewer earned runs allowed.
 
McMurry's offense got their wheels moving with a run-scoring sacrifice fly by junior outfielder Angelica Abila (Lubbock, Texas) and an RBI single from fellow junior outfielder Jesse Stephenson (Marble Falls, Texas) in the fifth and an RBI single and double, respectively, from junior shortstop Grace Duecker (Fredericksburg, Texas) and senior outfielder Bri Martinez (Yucaipa, Calif.) in the sixth. Duecker wound up with two hits and two runs scored, Martinez drove in two runs, and sophomore infielder Jade Dickens (Friendswood, Texas) was three-for-three at the plate to headline the War Hawks boxscore.
 
Fulps, winding up McMurry's third straight complete-game pitching performance, moved over .500 with two strikeouts and five hits surrendered in her seven innings in the circle. McMurry moves into its final regular season road trip Friday and Saturday, April 28 and 29, facing off against crosstown league rival Hardin-Simmons University.
