HUNTSVILLE | The UAH softball team opened a three-game Gulf South Conference series at Charger Park against Shorter with a 12-0 victory in five innings on Friday evening. UAH improves to 31-12 (16-6 GSC), while SU slides to 2-40 (1-24 GSC).
 
The Chargers opened up the contest with a four-run rally in the bottom of the first – kicked off by Sadie Thompson's 12th homer in 2024 – as UAH would not look back in the 12-0 win on Friday.
 
Josie Thompson was stellar in the circle for the Blue & White, tossing 4.0 innings with just four hits allowed and seven strikeouts. She improves to 11-5 this season with the win.
 
Sadie Thompson ended the contest with a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate with a team-high four runs and three RBI. Kaylee Vaught rated second on the day with three base hits – including a team-high two doubles – to go along with one run and two RBI.
 
Alexa Douthitt, Jessica Edde, and Lawren Hayes also had multi-hit performances with two base knocks apiece, with one of Hayes' hits going for a triple.
