HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Mallory Brewer gave the Reddies seven solid innings, while Abbie Moore continued her hot start to the season as Henderson State split the opening two games of the UAH Charger Chillout on Friday evening. Henderson defeated Trevecca Nazarene in the opening game 5-2 and fell to Christian Brothers 13-6 in the late contest.
 
The Reddies (3-2) will finish the tournament tomorrow when they take on Mississippi College at 11 a.m. and McKendree University at 1 p.m.
 
Game 1: Henderson State 5, Trevecca Nazarene 2
The game was scoreless in the bottom of the second inning when HSU got on the board thanks to Christianna Camp, who brought home the first Reddies run on an RBI single after a one-out triple from Moore. 
 
After Trevecca tied the game 1-1 in the top of the third, the Reddies retook control in the bottom of the inning. Marcela Lopez made it 2-1 with a single that scored Lindsey Williams but was thrown out stretching the hit to a double. Back-to-back triples from Kailey Reese and Madie Green gave the Reddies a 3-1 advantage before Moore made it 4-1 with a single to score Green. The Reddies tacked on one more in the bottom of the fourth as Green scored Ashlyn Taylor with a sacrifice fly. 
 
Brewer scattered nine hits throughout seven innings but did not allow a single walk, as Trevecca only pushed across one earned run in the game and Brewer picked up her second win of the season in a 5-2 Reddies' victory. 

Game 2: Christian Brothers 13, Henderson State 6
Henderson and Christian Brothers were tied in a back-and-forth battle through the first three innings on Friday evening, but the Lady Buccaneers scored four runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to break the game open and defeat the Reddies.

A triple from Madie Green got HSU on the board first in the bottom of the first inning, but CBU scored two in the second to take the lead 2-1. Ashlyn Taylor tied things up again in the bottom half with an RBI double that scored Alexis Morton, but with the game knotted at 2-2, things unraveled in the fourth and fifth innings for the Reddies.

The Lady Bucs scored four runs on just one hit in the fourth, and were aided by two errors, then tacked on four more runs in fifth on two hits and four walks to open up a 10-3 advantage. Henderson plated two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh, but the hole was too deep to climb out of, as CBU took it, 13-6.

Marcela Lopez had a good showing despite the loss for HSU and was 3-for-4 at the plate with a run scored.
