GREENWOOD – The Lander softball team suffered a pair of defeats at the hands of Georgia College on Sunday at Doug Spears Field, falling 5-3 and 2-1 to the Bobcats. 

Lander (13-11) scored first in the opening game as Haley Erwin delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the first. Georgia College (9-19) responded with three consecutive runs to move in front, 3-1, but the Bearcats rallied in the bottom of the sixth on a Jillian Terpenning solo home run and an RBI single from Reagan Lunsford. However, the Bobcats plated a pair in the top of the seventh to earn a 5-3 victory. 

Liz Gollin (5-5) allowed five runs on 12 hits in the circle with four strikeouts and one walk. 

Lander struck in the bottom of the first in game two, plating the game's first run on a Logan Coward RBI single. The Bearcats would tally just three hits the rest of the game, while Georgia College tied the score in the top of the second and moved ahead in the top of the fifth on a sacrifice fly. 

Barbara Cook (4-1) was tagged with her first loss of the year after allowing two earned runs on five hits with three strikeouts and one walk. Eliza Gonzalez and Gollin combined for 2.2 innings of one-hit relief.
