ABOUT LAST WEEK
West Florida got off to a slow start in Gulf South Conference play, going 0-2 at Union on a rainy weekend. The Argonauts played close in both games, holding a late lead in each.
 
Montana Young turned in another strong start in Game 1, throwing 6.1 innings while striking out three and allowing just two runs.
 
A few Argonauts stood out offensively, with Kayla Mayo and Madelyn Vasquez each picking up a pair of doubles. Mayo added three RBIs, while freshman Hannah Harper drew an impressive five walks.
 
SCOUTING DELTA STATE
Delta State brings extremes to the ballpark. The Lady Statesmen rank third in the conference in batting (.326), second in hits, and first in stolen bases, but they are also last in the league with a 7.82 ERA.
 
MyCala Helms is the leading hitter for DSU, batting .444 with 5 home runs, 17 RBIs, and 10 steals -- all of which are team-bests. Jenny Griggers is hitting .404, adding a pair of home runs.
 
Madison Jenkins and Lacey Coats are the top two arms for DSU.
 
RISP-Y BUSINESS
A few Argonauts have thrived this season with runners in scoring position -- Chelsea Dumas, Hannah Harper, and Madelyn Vasquez are each hitting well over .400 with runners in scoring position on the year, and Harper is hitting .550 (11-20) with runners on base.
 
Harper leads the team with six hits with runners in scoring position, batting .545, while Vasquez is 5-for-11 (.455) and Dumas is 4-for-9 (.444).
 
A GOOD START FOR HANNAH HARPER
Freshman Hannah Harper has stood out for the Argonauts in the first month of the season, leading UWF in batting (.452), on-base percentage (.553), and walks (6), while ranking second on the team in hits (14) and runs (6). She leads all GSC freshmen in batting and OBP.
 
MONTANA YOUNG IS IMPRESSIVE
Junior pitcher Montana Young put together a strong start against Flagler two weekends ago, shutting out the Saints over 7.0 innings of work. She followed that up with 4.1 innings of relief in Game 2, where she struck out six batters and allowed only two hits.
 
The righty has been sharp in her third season at UWF, with a 1.42 ERA over her last four appearances in the circle. She ranks in the top 10 in the GSC in ERA (2.40), opponent batting average (.239), innings pitched (35.0), and strikeouts (25) this year.
