CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin softball team (26-23, 14-10 SLC) finished their conference series against the Corpus Christi Islanders (10-34, 4-20 SLC) Saturday afternoon.
The Islanders continued the trend of jumping on the 'Jacks early as they brought in two runs in the bottom of the first, 2-0. The 'Jacks wasted no time responding as a single from Ella Hill and a walk from Jamie Varga brought up Chloe Reneau. Hill and Varga advanced off a wild pitch which put runners on second and third. Reneau blasted a single to the shortstop to bring in Hill, 2-1. After Reneau stole second and Kaylee Paul reached on a fielder's choice the bases were loaded with two outs for Hope Lusk. Lusk drew a four-pitch walk to bring in the second run for the 'Jacks, 2-2.
After three and a half scoreless innings, TAMUCC broke the tie with a run in the bottom of the sixth. Once again, the 'Jacks had their backs up against the wall with a deficit to overcome in the seventh inning. Ellie Vance started the seventh with a leadoff single, then Adelyn Becerra drew a walk, then both Becerra and Vance advanced on a wild pitch which put runners on second and third. Kyi'Marri Ester once again came in clutch for the 'Jacks as she reached on a fielder's choice after the Islanders tried and failed to get Vance out at home, 3-3. Alexis Telford came on in relief for Reagan Hall in the bottom of the seventh and held off the Islanders to send the game to extras. After the 'Jacks were unable to plate the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth, the Islanders had a chance to secure a walk-off win which is just what they did with an RBI double to left center, 4-3.
Top Players of the Game:
• Chloe Reneau: 2-4, one RBI, one SB
