Texas State Edges Eagles, 1-0, On Sunday
4/25/2021 1:50:00 PM | Softball
Aaliyah Garcia allows just two hits, strikes out seven, but late home run gives Bobcats the series sweep
SAN MARCOS, Texas - Texas State got a solo home run from ArieAnn Bell in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 1-0 Sun Belt softball victory over visiting Georgia Southern on Sunday at the Bobcat Softball Stadium in San Marcos, Texas.
The win gives the Bobcats (30-9, 12-5 Sun Belt) the sweep over the Eagles (11-25, 3-14 Sun Belt) in the three-game series. Georgia Southern returns home to Statesboro next to host South Alabama in a three-game league series beginning with a 5:30 p.m. contest on Friday, April 30, at Eagle Field.
The game was a fantastic pitcher's duel between the Eagles' Aaliyah Garcia and Texas State's Meagan King. Garcia limited the Bobcats to just two hits and struck out seven over six innings, at one point retiring 11 straight Bobcats between the second and sixth innings.
King, meanwhile, gave up just three infield hits through her seven innings of work, striking out a season-high 11 batters to improve to 8-2 on the year.
With the score tied at 0-0, Bell led off the sixth inning with a home run down the left field line that put the Bobcats on top.
The Eagles got a two-out single from Olivia Creamer that put the tying run on base in the top of the seventh, but King retired Alia Booth for the final out and the win.
Garcia fell to 4-6 on the season with the hard luck loss.
