Eagle Softball Battles Hard But Falls 2-1 to UL Monroe in Sun Belt Tournament
5/11/2016 2:02:00 PM | Softball
Alesha Mann hit her eighth home run of the season in the fifth
MOBILE, Ala. – The No. 5 Seed Georgia Southern softball team wrapped up the 2016 season Wednesday in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament hosted by South Alabama at Jaguar Field, falling 2-1 to the eighth-seeded Warhawks of UL Monroe.
The Warhawks (24-32) will advance into the double-elimination portion of the tournament where they will take on the fourth-seeded Panthers of Georgia State Wednesday afternoon.
In the top of the first inning, ULM edged out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of two-out runs off a double to left-center field by Cheyanne Lyon.
From there, the next four innings passed by scoreless as both pitchers settled in. Alesha Mann broke up the no-hitter ULM's hurler had going in the bottom of the fifth when she hit her eighth home run of the season over the left field wall to pull the Eagles to within one. Following Mann's homer, India Davis and Taylor Rogers recorded back-to-back one-out hits followed by Andrea McKenzie drawing a walk to load the bases, but the ULM defense stepped up and ended the Eagle threat.
Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year Dixie Raley (22-14) pitched the complete game for GS and struck out five batters while Melanie Coyne (18-21) matched her with five strikeouts en route to securing the win for ULM.
