Long Ball Dooms Lander in PBC Opener

AUGUSTA , Ga. - The Lander Softball team tied the game at one in the top of the fifth inning of their Peach Belt Conference Opener against the Augusta Jaguars but a pair of two-run homers by the home side gave them the cushion needed to send the Bearcats to a 5-1 loss in game one of their PBC series.

Lander drops to 10-3, 0-1 in PBC play while Augusta improves to 9-6, 1-0 in PBC play.

Augusta got on the board first with a solo shot in the bottom of the second but the Lander bats were held silent until the fifth when Emily Allen (Mount Dora, Fla.) singled and, after advancing on a passed ball, scored on an error by Augusta to tie the game at one a piece. Allen's hit was only Lander's second of the game and first since the first inning and it wound up being the Bearcats' last.

Augusta responded back in the bottom half with a two-run home run and repeated that feat in the bottom of the sixth to provide some insurance and allowed Lander to only reach base once via error in their last two offensive innings to come away with the win.

The two teams are back at it tomorrow as they play a doubleheader with the first game scheduled for 1:00 PM in Augusta.
