Softball Takes Series Against Snead State, 3-1

Boaz, AL / Decatur, AL – Calhoun softball took three of four games in an ACCC series against Snead State, sweeping Thursday's road doubleheader before splitting Saturday's home games to secure the series win.

Calhoun showed consistency early and resilience late, bouncing back from a Game 3 loss with a strong finish in Game 4.

Game 4 – Calhoun 7, Snead State 4

Calhoun saved their best for last, rallying late to secure the series win in the finale.

Trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the sixth, the Warhawks erupted for five runs in the inning. The highlight came from offensive standout Keeli Mullins, who launched a go-ahead three-run home run to swing the momentum in Calhoun's favor.

Morgan Lane added a two-run homer, and the Warhawks tacked on two more runs to seal the 7-4 victory.

"Keeli's swing in that moment was huge for us," said Head Coach Denton Bowling. "That's a big-time hit in a big-time spot. I'm really proud of how this group kept competing all weekend. We didn't let the loss earlier in the day carry over, and that says a lot about their mindset. We're starting to see this team respond the right way when things get tough."

Calhoun will return to action Friday 3/27 at home against Coastal Alabama South.
