Box Score

Memphis, TN
- Despite out hitting Arkansas-Monticello 9-6, the Christian Brothers University Lady Buccaneer softball team lost the final game of the three-game series, 5-3 today at Bland Field.

CBU (6-10, 2-4 GSC) went down early as the Cotton Blossoms scored two runs in the first inning. The Lady Bucs tied it up in the bottom of the second on RBI singles from Lauren Zavelli and Jenny Bernard.

UAM (22-6, 3-0 GSC) knocked out CBU starter Angela Dunn with two outs in the second inning when a line drive off her ankle forced her to the bench. The Blossoms scored another run in the third and two more in the fifth when errors forced home runs. CBU scored once more in the bottom of the fifth on a UAM error.

Dunn started and went 1.2 innings allowing just two earned runs on three hits. Megan Sharp and Kathryn Bomar pitched 5.1 innings of relief, allowing just one earned run between them and striking out five. Bomar held UAM hitless over the final two innings.

Bomar went 3-3 at the plate, while Hanna Shackelford had two hits, an RBI and a run scored. Bernard and Melissa Eillers had an RBI each.

The Lady Bucs will travel to Union University, tomorrow, March 15 for a 2 p.m. start, and will host a weekend conference series with Ouachita Baptist on Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19.
