Southwest Mississippi            4-5

East Mississippi            2-0

     SCOOBA — A late first-game rally fell short for the home-standing East Mississippi softball team, as the story for the Lions in Saturday’s opening game was their inability to get timely hits with runners on base.

    While the Bears notched solo runs in the second, fifth, sixth and seventh innings off EMCC's Courtney Nunn, the Lions left the bases loaded in the fourth and fifth innings.

     After Southwest took a 4-0 lead in the top of the seventh, EMCC was finally able to break the ice in its half of the final frame. After hits by Portia Randle, her third hit, Celeste Fontenot and Mallory Pace, Cayla Coleman flied to center field for the second out, but Nashedra Barry singled to right to score two runs. However, Nunn struck out looking to end the rally.

     Barry and Fontenot each had a pair of singles. EMCC stranded 11 runners on base, including six in scoring position.

     The Lions managed only four singles in the second game. Coleman, a former Clarkdale standout, had a pair of singles.

     The 2-19 Lions host Northeast Mississippi on Tuesday.
