Lander’s Unbeaten Conference Run Ends Against No. 5 North Georgia

GREENWOOD - The Lander softball team saw its unbeaten conference run come to an end Friday evening, falling 13-1 in five innings to No. 5 North Georgia at Doug Spears Field.

The Bearcats (18-8, 6-1 PBC) struggled to find offensive rhythm against a sharp North Georgia pitching staff, managing just one hit on the day. That lone bright spot came in the third inning when senior Emily Allen launched her first home run of the season to left field, putting Lander on the board and briefly halting the Nighthawks' momentum.

North Georgia (24-4, 6-1 PBC) built control early and capitalized on key opportunities throughout, using a combination of timely hitting and pressure to create separation. A decisive third inning proved to be the difference, as the Nighthawks surged ahead and never looked back.

Defensively, a handful of miscues also proved costly for Lander, as errors extended innings and allowed North Georgia to plate several unearned runs during its big third-inning surge.

Despite the lopsided result, Allen's homer provided a glimpse of resilience for Lander, which had consistently produced at the plate entering the matchup. The Bearcats' offense, however, was otherwise contained, as they were limited to just one baserunner beyond the home run.

Paige Sherman (6-2) took the loss for Lander, while Chloe Poss (14-2) earned the win for North Georgia.

Lander will look to regroup quickly as it hosts North Georgia for the final two games of the series Saturday, March 21, with a doubleheader set to begin at noon at Doug Spears Field.
