KENNESAW STATE 3, RADFORD 1 Box Score (PDF) | Box Score (XML)

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Senior Courtney Sutter hit a pair of home runs, including a two-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning, to help Kennesaw State to a 3-1 victory over Radford in the final game of the Chattanooga Challenge on Sunday.
 
Sutter's power, combined with a complete-game pitching effort by senior Logan Viers, concluded an undefeated weekend for the Owls (7-2) who posted a 4-0 record during the three-day tournament.
 
"Our players did a good job preparing themselves to play this weekend under adverse conditions," head coach Pete D'Amour said. "We have to continue to get better and improve, but there isn't a coach in the country that wouldn't take an undefeated weekend."
 
After Kennesaw State fell behind 1-0 on a home run in the top of the fourth, Sutter answered with a solo shot in the bottom half of the inning to tie the score.
 
Viers (3-1) kept the score tied until the Owls rallied in the sixth inning. Freshman Olivia Tamewitz, who was 2-for-3, opened the frame with a bunt single and stole second base before scoring on Sutter's home run.
 
In her fourth complete game of the season, Viers scattered six hits, one run and struck out four.
 
Sutter led the Owls offensively over the weekend, batting .667 (8-for-12) with four runs scored, double, triple, two home runs, a 1.417 slugging percentage, four RBIs and two stolen bases. Tamewitz also was productive over the four games, batting .615 (8-for-13) with four runs scored, three extra base hits, three RBIs and three stolen bases.
 
In the circle, freshman Alley Cutting turned in a pair of impressive performances, posting a 2-0 record and 1.05 ERA after working 13 1/3 innings, allowing 10 hits, two runs, walking one and striking out 23.
