Softball Falls in Extra Innings at Mercer

MACON, Ga. --- The Chattanooga softball team fell 2-1 in extra innings at Mercer Sunday afternoon at Sikes Field.
 
Mercer's Tori Hedgecock hit her SoCon-leading 10th home run Sunday afternoon off the scoreboard over the left field fence in the bottom of the ninth to give the Bears the victory.
 
Chattanooga moves to 15-16 overall and 3-3 in Southern Conference play while the Bears improve to 12-23 on the year and 3-3 against the conference.
 
Chattanooga got the first run, scoring in the third on a single. With one out, Addy Keylon took first on a hit-by-pitch. She stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by the catcher. With two outs, Emily Coltharp roped a single to left center, scoring Keylon from third and giving the Mocs a 1-0 lead.
 
The Bears' lead off reach base when she was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a double. A sac fly to center field with just one out scored the runner from third to tie the game.
 
In the bottom of the seventh, the Bears' lead off hitter reached but was part of an unconventional double play. The next batter bunted her over to second and was thrown out at first for the sacrifice. The runner rounded second and was caught between the bags and tagged out by Kaili Phillips.
 
The Mocs got hits from Emily Coltharp, Acelynn Sellers and Presley Williamson. Brooke Parrott got the start and Alyssa Lavdis came on in relief at the start of the seventh.
 
Chattanooga will return to the Peach State for a matchup Wednesday at Georgia State in Atlanta. Game One first pitch will be at 3:00 p.m. with the second game to follow.
