Lindsay Crowdus had three hits in game one victory to break the record

TULSA, Okla. – Senior outfielder Lindsay Crowdus became the program's all-time leader in hits Saturday afternoon as the University of Memphis softball team split with Tulsa to end the series. Propelled by Crowdus' 3-for-4 effort in game one, the Tigers shutout the Golden Hurricane 4-0 before falling in the rubber game by a score of 2-1.

Christian Novak pitched in both games for the Tigers, picking up her first complete game shutout of the season in game one. She moves to 6-7 on the year.

The Tigers took the lead in the third from Tulsa and added three more in the fifth to roll to the 4-0 victory. Memphis scattered 12 hits in game one with the top four batters in the line-up contributing 10 of them.

In game two, Tulsa took the lead early in the first inning. Memphis evened up the score in the next half inning, but a solo home run by the Golden Hurricane in the fourth proved to be the difference in the series finale.
