HUNTSVILLE | The No. 18 University of Alabama in Huntsville softball team pushed its winning streak to 10 games, sweeping a doubleheader with non-conference foe Truman on Friday afternoon at Charger Park. UAH won 3-0 in the first game and then secured a 3-1 victory in the nightcap.
 
UAH moves to 13-2 on the season, while Truman slips to 2-4.
 
The Chargers will be back in action on Saturday at Charger Park, stepping back into conference play with a visit from Lee. Saturday's doubleheader is slated for a 2 p.m. start, while Sunday's single game will begin at 1 p.m.
 
UAH 3, Truman 0
 
Tyler Harrison was masterful in the circle once again, tossing her seventh complete game and second shutout of the season in the victory as the junior scattered five hits while striking out nine and walking just one. Harrison's season ERA dropped 1.26, and opponents are now hitting just .180 off of her.
 
The pitcher received the only run she would need in the game in the third as Brianna Sullivan singled in Haley Thompson to give the Chargers a 1-0 lead, and Harrison would then help her own cause by lifting a sacrifice fly to center later in the frame to plate Savannah Smith.
 
Harrison registered another sacrifice fly in the fifth, scoring Sullivan and creating the eventual 3-0 final.
 
The Chargers had six hits in the contest, with Sullivan recording a pair from her spot at the top of the lineup, and Taylor Wascavage also had a hit in the game to run her hitting streak to 11 games.
 
UAH 3, Truman 1
 
Haley Thompson turned in a strong performance from the nine-hole in the lineup, picking up a pair of hits including a double in the second that scored a run, and the junior also drove in a run in the third with her second hit of the game.
 
Sandwiched between Thompson's run-producers was a bases-loaded walk drawn by Smith and a run-scoring sacrifice bunt for Truman to create the 3-1 score.
 
Earning the win in the circle for UAH was Emily Glover who tossed 4.1 innings while surrendering just three hits and an unearned run on her way to moving to 3-0 on the year, and Kimberly Jack earned her second save of the season as she went 2.2 innings, giving up just one hit and striking out a pair.
 
The Chargers outhit Truman 5-4 in the game, and UAH also showed great patience at the plate, drawing eight walks with Sullivan taking a team-best three free passes.
