HAMMOND, La. – The reigning Southland Conference regular season champion Southeastern Louisiana University softball team pulled away for a 20-6 victory over East Central (Miss.) Community College Friday evening at North Oak Park.
 
The Lions finished with 21 hits on the way to their third fall exhibition victory of 2026. Cayden Tullier led Southeastern with three hits, while she and Shelby Morris shared game-high honors with three RBI. Tullier also added three runs.
 
Tullier was one of seven Lions with multiple hits, as Morris, Brilee Ford, Veronica Puckett, Teegan DeWitt, Keaunna Green and Lily Garcia each had two hits. Ford hit her first home run of the fall and Morris tripled, while Tullier doubled twice, followed by Katherine Thiessen and Lily Calderon with one double each.
 
Six Southeastern pitchers limited ECCC to eight hits and three earned runs over the 10-inning scrimmage. Bre Clark was SLU's standout in the circle, striking out five in two innings of work, while Teegan DeWitt and Celia Lamkin each threw scoreless frames.
 
SLU will continue its fall slate next Wednesday, hosting Copiah-Lincoln Community College for a 10-inning exhibition at 5 p.m. at North Oak Park.
