Troy hit a combined seven home runs to defeat the Alabama State softball team (14-2 and 10-2) in the season home opening doubleheader Tuesday at the Barbara Williams Softball Complex.
 
Hannah Day hit three home runs and four others also homered to lead the Trojans (9-7). 
 
Troy used a seven-run second inning to a grab a big early lead in game one, but the Lady Hornets took a 2-1 lead through four innings in game two. 
 
Alabama State was able to take the lead when Jenna Mae Thorne led off the bottom half of the inning with a triple into right field. 

After Carly Evans drew a walk, Tacresha Favors pinch ran for her at first. 
 
Kendall Core drove in Thorne on a RBI groundout and Aleesa Yanez later drove in Favors on a go-ahead RBI single through the left side.
 
The Trojans answered directly back with home runs by Carli Kayler, Day and Michelle Phelps and did not look back. 
 
Alabama State (3-12) will next head to Deland, Fla., to take part in the Stetson Tournament. 
 
The three-day tourney opens Friday with two games against Troy at 10 a.m. and Stetson at 3 p.m.
