Georgia State softball came to Monroe this weekend and left with two wins on Saturday.
The Warhawks dropped game one despite a strong pitching effort by Samantha Hamby. She tossed five hitless innings before the Panthers were ableto make contact for a hit. The hit was a triple to deep right center. Two runners scored and Georgia State jumped out to a 2-0 lead. An RBI single later in the sixth knocked in another making the Panther lead 3-0 going into the bottom of the inning.
ULM pushed across one run in the bottom of the inning. That would be the team’s only run of the game mamaking the final score 3-1 in favor of Georgia State.
The Panther bats were warm for the second game of the day. Melanie Coyne kept the oppostion scoreless until the middle of the third when an RBI single hit the wall just shy of three-run home run.
The Warhawks brought the lead down to two when the score was 5-3 in favor of Georgia State. An eight run seventh inning virtually sealed the deal. ULM lost 14-4.
