Box Score NASHVILLE - A four-run sixth inning paired with five innings of shutout ball from senior
Kierra Camp helped propel the Georgia Southern softball squad to a 6-1 win over ETSU Sunday at Draper Diamond on the final day of the Purple & Gold Challenge.
The Eagles got off to a fast start as
Alesha Mann led off the game with her fourth home run of the season. In the third inning,
Mekhia Freeman led off with a single and stole second base before
Shelby Wilson drove her in with a double to the gap.
That's the way the game would stand until the Eagle bats came alive in the sixth inning.
Logan Harrell drew a walk and moved up on
Allyssah Mullis' single. Both runners advanced a bag on pinch hitter Madison Cavendar's ground out and then they scored when pinch hitter
Macy Weeks doubled them in. With Weeks on second and
Meredith McLendon on third, Freeman roped a double to the gap to make it 6-0.
ETSU (6-9) got one back in the bottom of the sixth with a solo home run, but wouldn't threaten any more as the pitching staff kept the Buc bats at bay.
Mann, Wilson and Freeman all had two hits while Mullis and Weeks both had one.
Camp (W, 8-3) was brilliant in the circle, allowing just two hits and two walks in five innings of work.
Kaylee Ramos pitched the final two innings, allowing a run on two hits.
The Eagles (12-6) will return to action on Wednesday, hosting Detroit Mercy in a single game starting at noon.
