THOMASVILLE, Ga. — The Thomas University softball team will continue conference play this week, hosting St. Thomas University on Tuesday and Wednesday for more SUN Conference play.
The Night Hawks (16-12, 3-6 SUN) and Bobcats (11-13, 3-6 SUN) both enter the series outside the playoff picture as the teams close in on the midway point of SUN play.
After a stellar start to the season, the Night Hawks' successes in early season play has not directly translated to SUN play, with 1-2 series performances against Webber, Southeastern, and, most recently, Ave Maria.
The Bobcats sit at the same 3-6 mark in conference play after a 2-1 series win over Keiser, a 1-2 losing effort against Warner, and a series sweep from Southeastern, 3-0.
In the head-to-head, TU holds a 16-7 series lead over St. Thomas with both teams picking up a win last year after splitting a pair of contests.
In game one the Night Hawks fell to the Bobcats 8-3 before narrowly turning it around in game two 5-4 win.
Thomas' game two win required extra innings before an Averie Sheppard RBI won the game in the top of the eighth, 5-4.
First pitch scheduled for Tuesday's doubleheader is set for 1 p.m. while Wednesday's start time is slated for 12 p.m.
