TMU drops season opener at Coastal

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (February 9, 2022) – The Truett McConnell University softball team competed in their season opener Wednesday on the road against College of Coastal Georgia, where the Lady Bears fell in two tough games against the Mariners (8-3, 9-1).

GAME 1 | 8-3

Both teams were even in play up until the bottom of the third inning when the Mariners put four runs on the board (0-4). The Lady Bears responded in the top of the fourth, starting with a Rachel Morgan single down the left field line, followed by an RBI double from Mikayla Sullens to score Morgan from second (1-4). A sacrifice fly to right field from Ellie Abner gave the perfect opportunity needed for Sullens to score from third and decrease the lead to two (2-4). Coastal added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth and one in the fifth. A Morgan single scored Alicia Price in the top of the fifth to make the score 3-7, ultimately not enough as the Lady Bears fell to a final score of 3-8.

LEADERS

Morgan led the way going 2-3 at the plate, along with one run and one RBI, while Sullens went 1-2 with one RBI and one run. Abner went 1-2 with a single RBI, followed by Lexi Simonton who had one hit and Price who had one run.

Pitcher Kyndall Gipson made her debut as a Lady Bear recording five strikeouts, while Emma Vessel made her debut recording one strikeout.

GAME 2 | 9-1

Game two against Coastal saw a different fate for the Lady Bears as multiple errors, hits and a sharp Mariner defense limited TMU from bouncing back. The bottom of the third and fourth inning saw Coastal rally in the box, while the Lady Bears responded in the top of the fifth after a Camryn Halliday walk sparked the inning, along with a Price single and Simonton RBI single to make the final score 1-9.

LEADERS

Price led game two going 1-2 at the plate, followed by Simonton who had one hit and one RBI. Gipson, Abner and Halliday recorded a walk apiece.

UP NEXT

TMU is back in action tomorrow as they compete in day two of their road trip at Middle Georgia State, with game times set for 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
