Ten-Run First Leads Lander to Six-Inning Win Over Georgia Southwestern

AMERICUS, Ga. - Saje Jones has played in 130 games for the Lander Softball team and had never hit a home run. That all changed on Friday evening as the senior broke the ice in grand fashion to cap off a ten-run first inning which helped the Bearcats take the first game of a Peach Belt Conference series over the Georgia Southwestern Hurricanes, 18-8, at Lady Canes Field.

The Bearcats improved to 28-11 overall and 12-7 in PBC play while the Hurricanes dropped to 19-24 and 6-13 in the league.

Bailey Pattison picked up her 13th win of the season after pitching five innings and striking out four. Alyssa Grimes closed out the game in the sixth striking out two.

Lander got their ten-run advantage by scoring in a variety of ways before a single out was made. Raquel Camuglia and Logan Coward each had RBI singles, Abbie Behe and Rylee Omahen both drew bases-loaded walks, and Naya Jones reached on an error with the bases loaded to set the stage for Saje to put the exclamation point on the inning with her grand slam.

Georgia Southwestern scratched across a run in the bottom of the inning but Behe reestablished Lander's stranglehold on the game with a grand slam of her own, her tenth of the season, to make it 14-1, Bearcats.

The Hurricanes did not go away quietly as the slowly closed the gap and prevented Lander from ending the game in five with a solo shot to make it 14-7. However, any hope of a miraculous comeback was snuffed out in the top of the sixth as Linda Moore delivered an RBI single of her own and Emily Allen tied Behe for the team lead in homers with a three-run shot to ice the game.

The two teams wrap the series tomorrow with a doubleheader set to begin at 1:00 PM in Americus.
