Camp, Mann Lead Eagles to Pair of Wins on Day Two in Florida

GS downs UMKC, Abilene Christian

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. - The Georgia Southern softball team took a pair of games on Saturday, downing UMKC 4-0 before rallying late to beat Abilene Christian 5-3 on day two of the Madeira Beach Invitational.

In the opener, Kierra Camp and Kaylee Ramos combined for a three-hit shutout as the Eagles blanked UMKC 4-0. In the late game, GS rallied from two runs down late thanks to Alesha Mann's grand slam for the heart stopping 5-3 win.

GS 4, UMKC 0
The Eagles got on the board in the second inning, loading up the bases before Haley Carter drove in a run on a fielder's choice to make it 1-0 and then Shelby Wilson then made it 2-0 when she drove in Sydney Fisher with a fielder's choice of her own.

In the top of the fifth inning, Macy Coleman and Hannah Farrell both singled and then freshman pinch hitter Allyssah Mullis smoked a ball to the gap to plate Coleman and pinch runner Hannah Scarbrough.

That would be all Camp (W, 4-0) and Ramos would need as the duo were lights out. Camp went five innings, allowing no runs on two hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Ramos pitched the final two innings, allowing a hit and a walk to go a strikeout. Between the two, they threw just 80 pitches in a game that lasted just 1:39.

Farrell and Davis led the way at the plate with two hits apiece, while Mullis, Carter, Coleman, Fisher, Mekhia Freeman, Logan Harrell and Meredith McLendon each had one.

GS 5, ACU 3
In the second game, the Eagles jumped out quickly, scoring a run in the first inning. Shelby Wilson singled and moved to third bas on a throwing error and then came home on Mekhia Freeman's infield single. The Wildcats used a pair of hit batters and two singles in the third inning to score three runs and take the lead.

In the fifth inning, Harrell and Coleman were hit by pitches and then Farrell ripped a single to left field to load the bases for Alesha Mann, who crushed a 2-1 offering to dead center field for the grand slam to give the Eagles the lead back. ACU kept fighting, but Davis turned a game-ending double play to seal the win.

The Eagles picked up 10 hits against one of the nation's top strikeout pitchers in Hannah Null. They were paced at the plate by two hits from both Farrell and Mann, along with a hit apiece from Davis, Wilson, Freeman, Fisher, Coleman and Carter.

Camp (W, 5-0) took the ball once again and was lights out for the second time in the day, twirling a 116-pitch gem. The senior allowed three runs on five hits with two walks. She won the pitcher's dual against Null, picking up eight strikeouts to Null's five.

The Eagles (6-2) will be wrap up action in Florida on Sunday, taking on Eastern Michigan at 11:30 a.m.
