HUNTSVILLE | Sydnee Uhlman tossed the program's eighth perfect game, and the No. 16 University of Alabama in Huntsville softball team swept aside Tuskegee on Tuesday afternoon, winning 12-0 in the first game before taking an 11-0 win in the gem tossed by Uhlman in the nightcap.
 
History Made
-Uhlman struck out 11 of the 15 batters she faced in the five-inning win for the Chargers, and she became just the sixth different UAH pitcher to toss a perfect game.
-The perfect game for Uhlman is UAH's first since Whitney Hawkins threw one against Henderson State on April 8, 2010, and it comes nearly 20 years to the day of when Wendy Hurst threw the program's first on March 6, 1999.
 
Next Time Out
-The Chargers will return to conference play this weekend when Lee visits for a three-game series that starts with a single game on Friday. First pitch in that contest is slated for a 4 p.m. start
 
UAH 12, Tuskegee 0 (5 inn.)
Game Changer
-Kiara Akles allowed just one hit over five innings while walking none and striking out four to earn the complete game victory.
 
Inside the Box Score
-UAH outhit the Golden Tigers by an 8-1 margin, and the Chargers also drew seven walks in the contest.
-Both Taylor Wascavage and Shelby Booker had a pair of hits in the game, and Wascavage drove in four runs to lead the Chargers in RBI.
-Jada Hayes and Ashley Cornell also knocked in a pair of runs in the contest.
-At the top of the order, Reagan Malone walked three times and scored twice.
-Malone also stole a pair of bags, helping UAH total four in the game.
 
Key Plays
-UAH got on the board early, with reigning GSC Player of the Week Amber Hammonds driving in Malone on a productive ground out, but the score would remain 1-0 until the bottom of the fourth.
-The Chargers sent 17 batters to the plate in the fourth, collecting seven hits in the frame, and Wascavage and Hayes both knocked in a pair in the inning with Wascavage doubling in two and two more scoring on a Hayes single to center.
 
Noteworthy
-The four RBI for Wascavage match a single-game high by a Charger this season, and it matches her career high which she has set twice previously.
-This marks the third time that Malone has drawn three walks in a game this year, and the Chargers have now drawn 97 walks on the year.
-Akles moves to 3-1 in the circle, and this is her second complete game in as many outings.
 
UAH 11, Tuskegee 0 (5 inn.)

-Each of Mallard, Long, and Wascavage knocked in a pair of runs in the contest.
-Mallard, Long, Wascavage, and Hayes all scored twice.
