Mean Green softball seals 2021 regular season crown

How did the Mean Green respond? By finishing off their fourth-consecutive Conference USA sweep with a second doubleheader sweep of Louisiana Tech with 6-0 and 3-2 wins.

“This season was a lot of growth,” head coach Rodney DeLong said.

Janie Worthington finished off the first unbeaten regular season by any North Texas pitcher with her first career no-hitter on Saturday.

A double from Rayna Lewis would plate a pair to make it a 4-0 game, North Texas would go on to leave the bases loaded in the inning and chase the La Tech starter before she recorded an out.

The sixth run of the game would come when Tayla Evans led the fourth inning off with her team-high ninth home run of the season which drove in her team-high 34th RBI in 2021.

Bailey Tindell earned her first start in the circle this season and threw 2.0 innings, allowed one earned run and issued no walks.

After the Lady Techsters took a 1-0 lead in the first, Bri Valdez recorded her first career extra-base hit with a one-out double to left in the second.
