STATESBORO - Texas State edged Georgia Southern softball, 4-2, to sweep a Sun Belt Conference series from the Eagles on Saturday at Eagle Field.

The Bobcats improved to 25-19 overall and 13-7 in the Sun Belt with the win, while Georgia Southern fell to 19-24 overall and 5-15 in the league with the loss. The Eagles continue their current eight-game homestand on Wednesday, hosting in-state rival Kennesaw State for a 5 p.m. contest at Eagle Field.

Texas State struck first with a Haleigh Davis RBI single in the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. The Eagles responded in the bottom of the second with a two-run home run courtesy of Macy Coleman, putting Georgia Southern up by one.

The Bobcats took advantage of a pair of Eagle miscues to retake the lead. A double steal followed by a throwing error allowed Texas State's Christiana McDowell to score in the fourth inning, tying the game up a 2-all. Then an error on a ground ball in the fifth pushed across the go-ahead run for the visitors.

Texas State then capped the scoring in the seventh with a leadoff solo home run by ArieAnn Bell.

Megan King (16-9) picked up the win in relief for the Bobcats, giving up just one hit in 5 1/3 innings of work, walking one while striking out four. Kaylee Ramos (2-1) suffered her first loss of the season in the complete-game effort, allowing five hits and four runs - two earned - in seven innings, walking five and striking out three.

"I think Kaylee Ramos threw very well," Georgia Southern Head Coach Kim Dean said. "I do think we did a better job adjusting to the pitcher that kinda shut us down Thursday [Dalllah Barrera]. We came in with a different game plan, a different approach and we executed against her. Defensively, Ellie [Ellington Day] had a great game, and so did Mekhia [Freeman]. We did some things well today, just not enough to push a win."
