Falcons Fall in Double Header Against Saint Leo and Lander

GULF SHORES, Ala. – Montevallo softball fell in both games of its double header against Saint Leo (5-3) and Lander (7-3) in the NCAA Div. II Gulf Shores Invitational on Saturday, Feb. 4. 
 
In the 5-3 loss to Saint Leo, Montevallo got out to a fast start when Lauren Higginbotham pounded a two RBI double in the top of the first. The Lions brought the score back to even with runs in the first and second innings and with a Falcon error in fourth, Saint Leo took a 3-2 lead. Alisha Lanyon's single down the left field line brought Taylor Robinson home to tie the score at three in the top of the fifth. The Falcons couldn't match Saint Leo's two-run fifth inning with its final six outs, giving the Lions a 5-3 victory. 
 
 
Montevallo's defense had a sluggish start against Lander, allowing seven runs in the first three innings. With two runners on in the bottom of the third, Sydnee Reeves drove in a run to put the Falcons on the board for the first time in the game. In the following inning, Lanyon went yard to deep left field for a solo homer. Georgia Hughes' single in the bottom of the fifth brought Reeves in to cut the lead to 7-3. Montevallo couldn't produce enough offense in the final two innings to overcome the four-run deficit. 
 
 
On the day, Montevallo finished with six runs, 12 hits, and six RBI with Alisha Lanyon leading all Falcons with three hits. Lanyon and Lauren Higginbotham each drove in a pair of runs for the most by any Montevallo player on the day.
