Florida A&M Squeaks Past Lady Jaguars in the Seventh

MONTGOMERY, AL – Florida A&M scored in the bottom of the seventh to edge the Lady Jaguars 2-1, Friday night at the HBCU Classic hosted by Alabama State at the Barbara Williams Complex in Montgomery, Alabama.
 
Southern 1, Florida A&M 2
W: N. Zenteno (2-4) L: Julia York (0-1)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Southern (1-9) scored first in the top of the second. Jaeslyn Frazier and Kameryn Adkins walked to open the frame. Sydney Wesley would follow with a single, scoring Frazier from second for a 1-0 lead.
  • The next three innings would be quiet, Southern would only be able to muster one hit, while Florida A&M would scatter three.
  • FAMU's bats came alive to start the bottom of the fifth with three consecutive hits to open the frame. A sacrifice fly would knot things up at one. Kairah Williams would hit a batter to load the bases up again, but would get the FAMU batter to pop up to second. Julia York would finish the final two innings of the game.
  • Southern would threaten in the top of the seventh after a single by Alissa Castaneda and a walk by Asia George, but a ground ball to short would end the threat.
  • The Rattlers would threaten in the seventh, getting a runner on second with two outs. Alana Mark would make a diving stop at first and toss it over to Anabella Valadez on what was originally called an out to end the inning, but the umpires would talk and overturn the call setting up FAMU with runners on the corner.
  • The Rattlers would steal second and Southern would throw behind the runner. An errant throw would get past the third baseman and allow the winning run to score.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • Southern was outhit 8-3.
  • Each team would commit one error.
  • Southern would leave seven runners stranded, while FAMU left six.
  • Southern drew four walks and struck out three times.
