After a rough night out at bat the Warhawks fell to McNeese State 4-0.

Strong pitching highlighted the first two innings before the Cowgirls got on the board with their first run of the night.

An errant throw by ULM led to McNeese State sending a runner home from third.

The fourth inning passed with no further action before the Cowgirls offense came to life in the fifth.

The bases sat loaded after two runners got hits and a third was walked after being struck by a pitch.

McNeese State took advantage of the situation and drove in three runs to up their lead to four.

The Warhawks continued to struggle offensively and failed to make a hit the rest of the game.

Coach Corey Lyon felt optimistic despite the loss.

“Two years ago that player was pitcher of the year in the Southland Conference. We needed to play tonight to see where we need to get better, and we’re going to take a lot of good out of this and look to build on what we need to build on,” Lyon said.
