The Concord University softball team took two losses Saturday afternoon
at Carson-Newman College 7-3, 9-1. Concord was led on the day by
freshman catcher Alyssa Morris, who went 3-for-5 with one run scored and
one RBI.

game while sophomore pitcher / outfielder Lacey McDougall also tallied
one hit in both games while also scoring twice.

off the second inning before being driven home by a Morris single to

innings until the Eagles plated four runs in the fourth inning off of
Sara Kelley's two out grand slam.
The Mountain Lions added its second run in the sixth when sophomore
Hayley Wade doubled to left-center before scoring by way of a Gleason
single to make it a 4-2 game. However, any thoughts of a comeback were
put to rest when Carson-Newman scored three more runs in sixth inning.

Katie Sims was able work out of a bases-loaded jam to earn the 7-3
victory.

also came away with two hits, including one RBI. Lacey McDougall fell to
4-4 on the season after giving up all seven runs over six innings.

Gleason single that scored McDougall, who hit a two-out double to reach
base. Carson-Newman responded to Concord's run with five of its own in
the bottom of the first inning.
The Mountain Lions were held hitless after their the first inning while
the Eagles scored four more runs in the fourth en route to the 9-1
five-inning win.
