Softball Suffers Sweep at Hands of Delta State

Lee Hits Six Game Slide With 7-2 Loss Sunday




CLEVELAND, Miss. - Delta State University remained undefeated in conference play after posting a 7-2 victory over the Lee softball team on Sunday afternoon from University Field.

The Lady Flames (9-10, 2-7) have now lost six straight Gulf South Conference (GSC) games but have faced the uphill battle of playing two teams on the road that are still unblemished in league play in the Lady Statesmen (17-4, 9-0) and No. 2 Alabama Huntsville last weekend. The Chargers are now 8-1 in GSC play after taking 2 of 3 from West Georgia this weekend.

Sophomore Leigh Beatenbough (1-3) got the call to start in the circle for the Lady Flames and was effective for the first four innings before running into trouble in the fifth and sixth frames. She finished throwing 5 1/3 innings allowing all seven runs on eight hits while walking three and striking out three. Bri Eichbaum came on to record the final two outs in the sixth.

Morgan Kazerooni led the way for the Lady Statesmen at the dish. She hit a solo homer to start the scoring in the second inning. Kazerooni added an RBI walk in the fifth and capped the scoring with a single to left in the sixth inning.

Shortstop Amanda Lynn tallied two more hits and led the Lady Flames all weekend finishing 6 for 12 in the series. Lynn is now hitting .441 on the year with nine stolen bases.

Senior Lexie Dean got the Lady Flames on the board in the third inning as she roped a run-scoring single down the right field line to score Rachel Polacek. Polacek would single home Nia Ceasar in the fourth inning to briefly give Lee a 2-1 advantage.

Katie Justice got the victory (6-1) tossing a complete game for the Lady Statesmen. Justice allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out three.

Delta State's leadoff hitter Kassidy Tally added two singles and scored twice while Pepper Baker also had two base knocks and drove in two.

Lee will look to end the losing skid on Wednesday as they travel to Tusculum for a non-conference twin bill. On Saturday the Lady Flames return home to host West Georgia for a three-game conference series beginning at 2 p.m.
