Saturday, the Tigers played a doubleheader against UNC Wilmington, dropping the second game but taking the first.

In game two of the doubleheader, Towson fell to the Seahawks 3-0, despite a solid outing from freshman pitcher Julia Smith-Harrington.

Smith-Harrington took her 11th loss of the year after tossing six innings and giving up three runs on seven hits.

Freshman first baseman Madison Wilson recorded g two hits in three at-bats while juniors Shelby Stracher and Olivia Balthazar managed to find the hit column for the Tigers.

In game one of Saturday’s doubleheader, the Tigers notched a 4-2 victory over the Seahawks.

Dejter tossed a complete game, allowing just two earned runs on eight hits while striking out three batters.

Junior centerfielder Kendyl Scott recorded three hits and scored a run. Wilson also registered two hits in three at-bats in addition to scoring a run. Junior Brook Miko got two hits and two RBIs for the Tigers.

Towson hosts a three-game series this weekend against CAA rival College of Charleston before heading to Harrisonburg, Virginia, to compete in the CAA Championship Tournament.
