Box Score
Memphis, TN - The Christian Brothers
University Lady Buccaneer softball team played six extra innings
today, but came out on top in each game, defeating Arkansas
Tech, 5-4 in 11 innings and finishing the sweep with an nine-inning,
6-5 win.
CBU (6-5, 2-1 GSC) went down early giving up two runs to
the Golden Suns in the fourth inning of game one. They tied
the game, however, the sixth inning, when an error allowed
both Lauren Zavelli
and Kathryn Bomar
to score.
Neither team scored again until the 11th when Tech scored
two in their half. Netia
Shores drove in the first run of the inning for the Lady
Bucs and with two outs, Jennifer
Longo singled to center field scoring Shores and Paula
Cerrito.
Bomar picked up the win in relief of Angela
Dunn, moving her record to 4-1 on the season. Dunn pitched
three innings, allowing just one earned run.
ATU (7-4, 1-2 GSC) picked up three first inning runs in game
two to go on top early. The Lady Bucs scored once in the third
and three more times in the fourth to go back on top, 4-3.
Melissa Eilers
picked up an RBI single in the third and Bomar had a bases-clearing
double in the fourth.
Tech scored once in the sixth to tie the game, and again
in the eighth to take a 5-4 lead. CBU scored in its half of
the eighth off an RBI single from Dunn. Bomar came through
again in the ninth, when she singled through the left side,
scoring Jenny Bernard
to win the game for the Lady Bucs.
Megan Sharp picked
up the complete-game win going nine innings, and striking
out five, allowing just two earned runs. Bomar drove in four
runs, going 3-5 in game two. Bernard scored twice in the nightcap.
The Lady Bucs will travel to Mobile, Alabama this Tuesday,
March 8 to take on Spring Hill College in a double-header
beginning at 1 p.m.
