Box Score

With 3 runs in the top of the 7th inning, LeTourneau was able to rally and pick up the Game 1 win over Louisiana College, 3-2.  The double header finale will take place Tuesday with Game 1 starting at 4pm and Game 2 at 6pm.

The pitchers for both teams, Savannah Settle for LC and Kayla Cosby for LETU, dominated the first five and a half innings in game 1.  Neither offense was able to mount any type of threat in the game and both pitchers went through stretches of reitiring multiple batters in a row.  It wasn't until the bottom of the 6th when the Lady Wildcats wer finally able to break through after a lead off double by catcher Kourtney Herrera set the table for another double, this time by pinch hitter Jade Johnson to give LC the 1-0 lead late in the game.  The Lady Wildcats would eventually load the bases in the same inning with only 1-out but were unable to get the hit to fall for them and left the bags full.

LeTourneau led off their half of the 7th with a double, just as the Wildcats did in the 6th, but they would get the hit to fall later in the inning with runners on first and second, Kelsie Benson hit a double into right center that scored both runners and gave the Lady Jackets a 3-1 lead mid way through the 7th.  In the bottom of the inning LC would mount a rally of their own after Jordan Mason led off the inning with single and a 1-out walk to Herrera.  Kelsey Kelly perfectly placed a double down the right field line that scored Mason to make the game 3-2 and put the winning run in scoring position for the Wildcats.  Both runners would be left on base as Jayde Westbrook popped up to 3rd to end the game for the Lady Wildcats.

Kelsey Kelly, Jayde Westbrook, Jordan Mason, Kourtney Herrera, and Jade Johnson all had 1-hit a piece for the Lady Wildcats.  Savannah Settle (10-4) went 6.1 innings gave up 3 runs on 6 hits and struck out 3.

Game 2 of the series will start at 4pm and game 3 at 6pm Tuesday at Coca-Cola Wildcat Field in Pineville.
