Covenant Begins Season With Two Close Defeats

COLUMBUS, Miss. - The Scots began their season on Friday for day one of the MUW Invitational. In the first games of the Bill Higley era, the Scots held their own, but dropped two close games to MUW and Millsaps. 

Final: Covenant 1, MUW 3

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Ashlyn Gaines led off the second inning with a double and later came in to score on a throwing error to give Covenant a 1-0 lead. 
  • MUW responded in the bottom of the frame as an RBI single to right field tied the game. 
  • Another RBI single by the Owls in the third inning put them ahead 2-1. 
  • The Scots had runners on second and third in the fourth inning, but were not able to bring any more runs across home plate. 
  • The Owls added what turned out to be an unearned run in the fourth inning on a RBI sacrifice fly to center field.
