Five-Run Fifth the Difference in SWOSU’s Loss at Ouachita

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – SWOSU Softball led Ouachita Baptist 4-1 early, but a five-run fifth by the Tigers upended the Bulldogs in an 8-5 game one loss.

The two teams will go at it again on Saturday (April 12) in a doubleheader beginning at noon in Arkansas.

With the Dawgs up 4-1, Ouachita got a run back in the fourth before grabbing the lead for good in the fifth when they pieced together five consecutive hits. They added one more run for insurance in the sixth.

SWOSU got a run back in their half of the seventh inning and brought the tying run to the plate, but could not continue the rally.

The Tigers outhit the Dawgs 11-5.

Alexis Taylor suffered the loss in the circle, striking out five without a walk in 4.1 innings of action. She avoided the big inning until the fifth when Ouachita finally gave her trouble. Jaycee McKee threw the final 1.2 innings in relief.
