Coastal softball sweeps weekend against South Alabama
This past weekend the Coastal Carolina Softball team travelled to Mobile, Ala, for a weekend of softball against the Southern Alabama Lady Jaguars.
The first game was held on Friday, April 5 and the Chanticleers won 4-3. Courtney Dean, center fielder, hit her 12th homerun of the season in the top of the fifth inning, scoring three and bringing the Chanticleers to the lead. Kaitlin Beasley-Polko pitched 6 innings in the game and only gave up seven hits and three runs.
The Chanticleers wasted no time in getting runs in during their second game of the weekend on Saturday as junior first baseman Kassidy Smith hit a home run in the top of the first inning. Smith would go yard again in the top of the sixth inning, this time bringing in two runs and bringing the Chanticleers to the lead. Abbey Montoya scored again in the top of the seventh inning, bringing the final score of the game to 4-2.
The third game brought another win for the Lady Chanticleers. Taylor Sweigart was hit by the first pitch of the game. When Dean stepped up to bat, the Jaguars decided to intentionally walk her.

Stavi Augur, infielder, hit a grand slam bringing the Chanticleer to a win of 6-4 against the Jaguars. Beasley Polko also had an amazing game – only allowing for five hits and four runs.
