Softball Drops Double-Header to Georgia Southwestern

AMERICUS, Ga. – The Montevallo softball team fell to 5-7 on the season after dropping a double-header at Georgia Southwestern, 7-6 and 4-1, on Tuesday. 
 
 
GAME ONE 
After a lead-off hit from Shelby Sloan in the top of the first, the Falcons fell behind, 2-0, when a two-run homer from GSW left the ballpark in the bottom of the inning. 
 
A hitless second inning lead to the top of the third when Montevallo's offense erupted for four runs. In her second at-bat of the game, Sloan went yard for a solo shot to make the score 2-1. After a triple from Alisha Lanyon and a Lauren Higginbotham walk, Sydnee Reaves singled into right field to score Lanyon and tie the game. Two batters later, Higginbotham scored off a single from Ellie Derrick for the first Falcon lead of the game at 3-2. Reaves scored the final run of the inning after Maddie Taylor reached on a GSW error. 
 
Another two-run homerun from GSW knotted the game at four after the third. 
 
The third homerun of the day from GSW left the Falcons in a 6-4 hole heading into the top of the sixth. Taylor Robinson answered the call with a solo homer to pull the Falcons within one going into the bottom of the inning. The Falcons' pitching staff kept the score at 6-5 GSW after a walk and three-straight outs. 
 
To lead off the Falcons' final at-bat, Ansley Hudson reached on a bunt and was advanced into scoring position with a sac bunt from Lily Stone. Derrick's double down the right-field line tied the game at six with GSW up to bat. A bases-loaded single secured GSW the 7-6 victory.
