ATLANTA, Georgia – The Troy softball team fell to a go-ahead solo home run in the sixth inning and lost, 4-3, in the series finale on Sunday at the Bob Heck Softball Complex.
Â
Troy (13-11, 0-3 Sun Belt) trailed 3-0 early, but battled back in the top of the second inning on a two-out base hit by Kate Benton that scored Amanda Winters and Becca Hartley, who reached on a leadoff double and a walk. Â The walk pushed Hartley's reached base streak to 24 games.
Â
The Trojans went on to tie the game at three in the sixth inning on a single up the middle by Hannah Day that scored Neely, who reached on a double, her eighth of the year.
Â
Jaycee Affeldt (7-4) took the loss for the Trojans after giving up one earned run on two hits and struck out two in 5.2 innings of work.
Â
Georgia State (16-2, 3-0 Sun Belt) took the lead, on a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning by Ivie Drake, who went 2-for-3 with all four of the Panthers RBIs.
Â
Taylor Thorpe (9-0) entered in relief and got the win as she pitched three innings and gave up one earned run on three hits.
