Softball Falters against Transylvania, 9-3

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. – The visiting Pioneers used 14 hits to top the Covenant softball team 9-3 on Tuesday afternoon.

The loss brings the Scots to a 7-8 overall record, while Transylvania improves to 8-4.

The Pioneers struck early, as they would hit four singles in the top of the first inning to help them take a quick 2-0 lead. And after tacking on another two runs over the third and fourth innings, they extended the lead to four (4-0).

Two singles and a Transylvania error helped the Scots cut the deficit to three in the bottom of the fourth (4-1). The singles came off the bats of Lauren Kay and Jordan Holman.

The visitors scored twice more in the top of the fifth off of three hits, including an RBI-double from Stella Wulker (6-1). But, the Scots would answer with one more run of their own in their half of the inning, making it 6-2. The score came thanks to a single from Cope Whitaker and a fielding error by the Pioneers.

But, Transylvania quickly answered back with another three hits in the top of the sixth, which helped them extend their lead to seven (9-2).

Vanessa Davis would launch a home run in the bottom of the sixth to give Covenant another run. But, it would ultimately not be enough as the Pioneers gained the 9-3 victory.
