Seventh Inning Rallies Fall Short as Dawgs Swept by Cotton Blossoms

MONTICELLO, Ark. – Despite bringing the tying run to the plate in the first game and the go-ahead run to the plate in the final game, SWOSU Softball fell to Arkansas-Monticello by scores of 5-1 and 3-2 on Sunday to go winless on the weekend.
 
Conference play continues next weekend in Bethany for the Bulldogs, who will take on the Crimson Storm in another four-game series looking to snap the current eight-game winning drought – the longest of the season.
 
Game One
Arkansas-Monticello 5, SWOSU 1
 
The Cotton Blossoms inched their way to a five-run lead by scoring single runs in the first, third and fourth innings before hitting a two-run shot in the sixth that proved to be insurance. SWOSU, as they've done multiple times this season, put up their best shot in the seventh and final inning but came up short.
 
Having already scored one run in the seventh from an Abigail Schade single that drove in Keanni Barron, the Dawgs loaded the bases and brought the tying run to the plate but Miranda West fouled out to strand the trio of runners and end the game.
 
Taya Haney (L, 3-7) competed in the circle all afternoon, but walked five UAM batters and allowed all five runs (four earned) in the contest to earn the loss despite striking out six. The Dawgs ended the game with one more hit that the Cotton Blossoms, but failed to turn those hits into runs. Schade led the offense with two hits including the lone RBI.
 
Game Two
Arkansas-Monticello 3, SWOSU 2
 
Struggling to hit in the final game of the series, SWOSU took advantage of a UAM error in the second inning to allow their first run to cross home plate and tie the game back at 1-1 after surrendering an early lead in the first inning.
 
Starting pitcher Taylor Eaves (L, 1-5) held Arkansas-Monticello to that one run until the fifth inning when UAM was able to finally take the lead from an RBI single with the bases loaded that scored two. She wouldn't concede any more runs in the inning or game, but the damage was done.
 
In the seventh inning, SWOSU would again rally to put the first two runners of the inning on base with no outs. After a Cheyenne Trotter RBI groundout moved Sidney Kirk to third with two outs, Kaytlin Donaldson grounded out to end the game and strand the tying run on third.
