BATON ROUGE, La. – Texas Southern softball had a tough weekend as Southern claimed two-of-three games.
SOUTHERN 6, TSU 5 (9)
TSU battled back from a four-run deficit late but surrendered two late runs as SU claimed a 5-4 win in extra innings.
A fielding error allowed three runs to score in the second followed by a single for an early 4-0 Jaguar lead. TSU would chip away from that point as Karisma Garcia drove in a run in the third and the defense kept SU off the board.
TSU broke through in the sixth as Da'Nia Durr drove home Lanay Carr for a 4-2 margin followed by an RBI from Penelope Saenz as the score was trimmed to 4-3. Garcia's sac fly in the seventh tied it at 4-all and Marissa Martinez's RBI double moved TSU ahead 5-4. Southern would hit back-to-back one-out doubles in the seventh and tied it at 5-all with a two-out sac fly.
The score would remain tied until the ninth as SU drew a two-out walk to load the bases. Unfortunately, the game would end with a hit batter as SU scored the winning run as a result.

A critical fielding error in the sixth with two outs moved SU ahead 5-3 as the run came back to haunt the Tigers in the seventh.
