Cougars Drop Extra Inning Decision to UMass Lowell in Holy City Showdown Finale

Charleston, S.C. – UMass Lowell broke a 3-3 tie that had stood since the second with a run in the top of the eighth and held the College of Charleston scoreless in the bottom of the inning in a 4-3 victory over the Cougars in the final game of the Holy City Showdown at Patriots Point.

CofC finished 3-2 in the three-day tournament and is 11-10 overall. The Cougars host their third and final tournament of the season next Saturday and Sunday with two games each against Ohio University and Western Carolina at the Charleston Challenge.

Using the softball tiebreaker rule, Casey Harding was placed at second to start the eighth for Lowell. She moved to third on an infield single and scored when Alisha Welch dropped a bloop single into shallow right center.

Yari Felix pinch ran at second for the Cougars in their half of the eighth, and Lexee Emanuel was hit by a pitch to put two on with nobody out. But River Hawk pitcher Kaysee Talcik retired Sara Garcia and Dana Horgan on a pop up to short and fly out to right, respectively, and Katie Padilla on a grounder to short to leave CofC one run short.

Brittany Violette allowed the unearned run in the eighth and dropped to 3-3 on the season. She went the final three innings in relief, giving up three hits and striking out three. Sydney Shipley started for the Cougars and surrendered a three-run double to Sydney Barker in the first before allowing only one hit over her final four innings in the circle. Shipley also fanned three River Hawks.

CofC quickly answered the River Hawk first with three runs in its first two at bats. Taylor DuPree led off with a single, stole second and scored on a double play grounder, and Sara Garcia doubled in Emanuel to make it 3-2 after the first. The Cougars loaded the bases with one out in the second but could only score once on an RBI single by Madi Brown.

DuPree finished with three hits to raise her batting average to .406 and stole two bases to increase her season total to 12 in 13 attempts.

After her rough first inning, Shipley retired the side in order in the second, struck out three in the third and stranded runners at third in the fourth and another in scoring position the following frame as the game developed into a pitcher's duel over the final six innings.
