UMSL won the program’s fifth Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament championship on Sunday, defeating No. 12 Indianapolis 1-0 on a walk-off, two-out RBI single from senior Chelsea Martinez in the championship game. Martinez also helped send the Tritons to that title game the day before, belting a two-run home run in the 10th inning of a 2-0 victory also over Indianapolis. Behind the pitching of senior Carly Kingery and junior Andee Tiffee, UMSL allowed just two runs in four games in the tournament, limiting its opponents to a combined .110 batting average. The Tritons (35-17) will host an NCAA Regional this week, opening play Thursday against Illinois Springfield at 2:30 p.m. The regional tournament will run Thursday through Saturday at the UMSL Softball Field.
