Box Score

Gainesville, Fla. ? The Lady Mocs had six hits but struggled defensively in the team's 7-1 loss to Fordham Saturday morning.

“We played today like we should have played yesterday,” Chattanooga head coach Frank Reed said. “We were nervous and left eight on base. We can't do that and expect to win ball games. We have to get a lot better.”

Sophomore Ashley Cuticchia had two hits, but the Lady Mocs (1-2) had four errors and allowed 10 hits and gave up six walks giving Fordham (1-3) its first win of the season.

Fordham jumped onto the board quickly picking up two runs in the first on two hits. Chattanooga answered with a Jeannie Cochran single and stolen base before she scored on a Fordham error to keep the team in the game.

The Lady Mocs reached base twice in the second on a Fordham error and fielder's choice in the second but weren't able to convert after three errors helped the Rams to tally three runs in the top of the third to make the score 1-5.

But after holding Fordham scoreless in the top of the third, singles by Cuticchia and junior Tara Tembey put players in scoring position but were left on base as the inning closed.

Sophomore Toni Hutchison was the lone Lady Moc to get on base in the fourth with a double to left field. She advanced on a passed ball but was left on third base. Fordham picked up one run on a home run by the catcher Allison Storc earlier in the inning making the score 1-6.

Fordham added its final run in the sixth and were held scoreless in the seventh.

Cochran got on base on a two-out Fordham error, the team's third of the game, before Cuticchia hit a single to the right field line sending Cochran to third. But the Lady Mocs once again weren't able to send any runners home ending the game.

The Rams had five RBI led by Storc and Allison Twarowski with two each. Twarowski also pitched a complete game with six strikeouts on 30 batters faced.

The Lady Mocs face No. 24 NC State at 6:15 p.m. Saturday evening before bracket play starting Sunday morning.
