KENNESAW, Ga. – Contributions throughout its roster led the Kennesaw State softball team to a pair of victories during the opening day of the Bobbie Bailey Memorial Tournament Friday at Bailey Park.
 
Behind another stellar pitching performance from senior Hailey Andrews, the Owls (11-11) posted a 4-0 victory over Wright State before capping the day with an 11-hit attack in a 10-5 win over Saint Louis that extended KSU's winning streak to a season-high six games.
 
Kennesaw State was led offensively by freshman Katie Greep, who scored three runs, homered and collected two RBIs, while junior Hannah Thomason reached base five times in seven plate appearances and scored four runs from the leadoff spot. Junior Jade Lee and senior Jessie Mullen also hit home runs.
 
In the opener versus Wright State, Andrews (6-6) extended her consecutive scoreless innings streak to 26 2/3 innings – after tossing a complete game, allowing two hits, walking four and striking out 10.  Over the course of her last five appearances, the Owls' right-hander has struck out 42 batters in 30 2/3 innings.
 
In the nightcap, freshman left-hander Peyton Elzey (1-2) earned her first collegiate victory after working four innings, scattering seven hits, allowing three earned runs and walking one.
