Box Score

GS moves to 24-25 overall, 12-12 in Sun Belt play

MOBILE, Ala. – The Georgia Southern softball team dropped their series finale to South Alabama in Mobile. The Eagles (24-25, 12-12 SBC) were swept by the Jaguars (31-18, 13-12 SBC) over the weekend, falling 7-2 in the single game on Sunday afternoon.

The Eagles struck first in game three of the series, plating two unearned runs in the top of the third to take an early lead. GS held that lead up until the bottom of the fifth inning, where the Jaguars tied the game up with two bases loaded walks, making the score 2-2.

South Alabama took the lead after an explosive sixth inning where they plated five runs off of five hits. The Eagles were not able to come back from the sixth inning deficit, falling 7-2 on Sunday afternoon and moving to 12-12 in Sun Belt conference play.

Dixie Raley (L, 13-17) was tabbed with the loss, throwing 5.1 innings in the circle. Kierra Camp came in to pitch in relief and finished out the game, throwing the final two outs. Offensively, Andrea McKenzie led the way with two hits while Emily Snider, Shelby Wilson and India Davis each had one.

UP NEXT:
Georgia Southern will return home next weekend for their last regular season Sun Belt series against Georgia State. The Eagles will play the Panthers in a single game on Friday and a doubleheader on Saturday at Eagle Field.
