Elon Edges East Carolina, 1-0
March 06, 2022 | Softball
ELON, N.C. – Taylor Cherry tossed a perfect game Sunday afternoon to lift Elon past East Carolina 1-0 in the finale of the Cardinal Invitational at Hunt Softball Park.
Â
The Pirates dropped to 8-10 while the Phoenix improved to 12-6.
Â
Cherry (3-2) struck out 10 batters and threw 86 total pitches – 54 for strikes. Madisyn Davis (3-1) turned in a solid complete-game effort as well, allowing just one run on seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts.
Â
Elon scored the only run of the contest in the bottom of the first off of a Gabi Schaal sacrifice fly. The Phoenix threatened a few more times in the second and third innings, but Davis was up to the task as Elon ended up stranding six runners on base.
Â
Up Next: East Carolina starts a seven-game homestand Wednesday, March 9, when its hosts North Carolina at 5 p.m.
