Lander’s Late Rally Falls Short Against Georgia College

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Despite a late push in the seventh inning, Lander came up short in a tightly contested 4-3 loss to Georgia College on Friday night at Bobcat Softball Field. With the loss, the Bearcats fall to 13-12 overall (3-4 PBC), and the Bobcats improve to 14-12 (8-2 PBC). 

How It Happened

The Bobcats struck first, taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. They extended their lead to 2-0 on a sacrifice fly in the third.

Lander responded in the fourth, leveling the score at 2-2. Reagan Hill reached on a fielding error that allowed Raquel Camuglia to score. Kaitlyn DeFranco followed with an RBI single to bring in Naya Jones.

However, Georgia College answered back in the fifth with an RBI double, and they tacked on another run in the sixth with an infield single to make it 4-2.

The Bearcats fought until the final out. In the top of the seventh, Kara VonAchen roped a double to center field, scoring Emily Allen to cut the deficit to one. But the Bobcats pitcher, Shelby Jones, closed the door, securing the win for GCSU.

Key Performers Paige Sherman (1-1) took the tough-luck loss, battling through six innings while allowing just four runs on seven hits. She struck out two and walked just one in her 102-pitch outing.
