Need to Know
Score: Piedmont 1, Ithaca 3
Records: Lady Lions 9-8, Bombers 3-3
Location: Columbus, Georgia

Columbus, GA - The Lady Lion softball team completed play at the NFCA Leadoff Classic Sunday with a 3-1 loss to Ithaca College. A pair of home runs by the Bombers proved to be the difference in the game as all three runs for Ithaca came on homers.

Piedmont was able to record the first run of the day in the top of the fourth as LAURA CARTER reached on an error and then was caught in a run down eventually being out on the play but did allow HALEY MCCURRY to score. The game was tied in the bottom of the frame with a solo shot by the Bombers.

Another home run for Ithaca in the bottom of the sixth inning, this time a two-run bomb for the Bombers, put them on top for good. The Bombers had just five hits in the game while Piedmont had four. SARAH WALKER took the loss moving to 6-4 as she pitched 5.1 innings giving up five hits and all three runs while striking out two.
