HOW IT HAPPENED

Montevallo split a doubleheader with Saginaw Valley State and Bellarmine on the final day of the Music City Invitational, knocking off the Cardinals 5-4 in extra innings before falling to the Knights 5-1 in the nightcap.

The Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning in the opener against Saginaw Valley State on a solo home run by junior Dylan Bailey.

Montevallo added three more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to push their lead to 4-0. Senior Hannah McCreless and freshman Holly LaForce each reached on a single before junior Celestia Davila got on base on a fielder's choice. Junior Kelsey Vining plated all three baserunners with a three-run triple to left-center field.

Saginaw Valley State tied the game with four runs in the top of the sixth inning, which included a two-run homer by Lauren Bachert.

The Falcons claimed a 5-4 victory in extra innings when junior Darbi Duke, who started off the ninth inning on second base due to international tiebreaking rules, scored on a RBI double to right-center field by freshman Mariel Bertossi.

Senior Jocelyn Rivera earned the win in the circle after allowing just one hit with a strikeout and two walks in three innings in relief.

Bellarmine scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning and two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 5-0 lead.

Montevallo scored its lone run in the top of the seventh when Davila led off the frame with a walk before scoring on a RBI double down the right-field line by Vining.

STAT OF THE DAY

Rivera capped off the Music City Invitational with a season-high tying six strikeouts against Bellarmine, giving her 14 total strikeouts in the event.

UP NEXT

The Falcons will take a lengthy break before opening Peach Belt Conference play Saturday, March 4 on the road at Georgia Southwestern State University. First pitch in the first game of the doubleheader is set for 2 p.m. Eastern/1 p.m. Central.
