Lady Tigers Earn First SIAC Series Sweep

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Savannah State softball earned its first Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) series sweep this weekend, beating Fort Valley State in three games on home turf.
 
The Lady Tigers hit parade racked up a total of 35 runs on 31 hits (.378) as they put away Fort Valley State in the final two games of the series with run-rule routs.
 
Savannah State improved to 6-12 on the season overall and 4-7 in conference play with the wins. The Lady Tigers moved into third place in the SIAC East Division standings with the wins, trailing Benedict (4-4 SIAC) and Albany State (9-1 SIAC).
 
In game one on Saturday, the Lady Tigers and the Wildcats were knotted up at 1-1 into the fourth inning. Marcela Foley singled to score JaNesa Robins to break the stalemate. Jocelyn Lozano later scored on an error to lift Savannah State into a 3-1 lead.
 
Fort Valley State scored a single run in the sixth to cut the Lady Tigers lead to 3-2 into the bottom of the frame. Casey Sims got things going with a single to left center that scored Foley who reached on an error. Later in the inning, Da'Ondalyn Simmons blasted a single to left, platting Kayla McDuffie for a 5-2 lead.
 
Alisyn Ferrell forced a three-up, three-down in the top of the seventh to seal up the win for Savannah State. Ferrell picked up her third pitching win of the season after a complete game in the circle. She allowed one earned run on two hits with one walk and five strikeouts in one of her best outings of the season.
 
Savannah State hit the lights out in game two on Saturday. Trailing 6-1 into the bottom of the third inning, the Lady Tigers went to work scoring five runs on two hits to tie the game up at 6-6 into the fourth inning.
 
Fort Valley State platted a single run in the top of the fourth on three hits to regain the lead, but it was short lived.
 
Savannah State had a monster fourth inning that lasted nearly 20 minutes. The Lady Tigers scored 13 runs on nine hits, including a grand slam from Rahkell Holden—her first of the season—that trimmed the right field line. Savannah State took a 19-7 lead into the fifth inning.
 
Ferrell forced two flyouts to end the game in the top of the fifth due to run-rule. She earned her fourth pitching win after 4.0 innings in the circle. She allowed four earned runs on seven hits with five walks.
 
Savannah State sealed up the sweep on Sunday. They took an early 7-0 lead with three runs in the first inning and four in the second. Fort Valley plated two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth to cut the Lady Tigers lead to 7-3.
 
In the bottom of the fourth, the Lady Tigers put the nail in the coffin. Morgan Green singled to push Jalexia Wright to third after she reached on a fielder's choice. Simmons brought them both home on a single to right field.
 
Ferrell then singled to push Simmons into scoring position. Daxne Carrera then ended the game with a triple to left field that scored Robinson (who was pinched running for Simmons) and Ferrell. The four runs pushed Savannah State out to an 11-3 lead ending the game by run-rule—
a 10 or more run advantage after five innings played.
 
Simmons led the Lady Tigers from the plate over the series, slashing.750/.500/.750 going 7-for-10 with eight RBI and one double.
 
The Lady Tigers host Edward Waters on Wednesday in a non-conference doubleheader before closing out the home schedule this coming weekend with a three-game SIAC series against Clark Atlanta.
 
First pitch on Wednesday is set for 2 p.m. First pitch against Clark Atlanta is set for Saturday, April 2 at 1 p.m.
