Falcon Bats Wake Up Late, Warhawks Drop Series Opener

MONTEVALLO, Ala. – Despite leading for five innings of the game, the Auburn University at Montgomery softball team fell on the road to Gulf South Conference rival Montevallo 5-3 on Friday afternoon.

NOTES
- The Warhawks fall to 10-5 on the year.
- After winning two of the first three GSC games, AUM has now dropped three of their last four.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS GAME 1
- Molly Cobb went 2-3 with a walk.
- Lauren Haskins and Gracie Harris scored a run.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Olivia Aycock's speed erupted chaos in the first inning of action, creating havoc on the bases. With Allie Miller at the plate, Aycock tried to advance to second base on a ground ball but the shortstop threw the ball into the outfield. Aycock scored on the play but Miller was gunned down at third on the throw.  
- Harris and Haskins teamed up to score the Warhawks' second run of the game in the second inning, executing a safety squeeze play to score Haskins from third base.
- Alanna Goble was able to keep the Falcons offense at bay for the first five innings of the game, while the AUM offense was kept quiet as well.   
- With Harris in scoring position in the fifth, Aycock lifted a ball into medium deep left field and Harris was able to barely beat the throw home to give the Orange & Black a 3-0 lead.
- With two runners on, Montevallo called upon a pinch hitter who pounded a ball over the left field wall to tie the game with one swing of the bat.
- The Warhawks had a chance to score in the top of the sixth, having the bases loaded with two outs but the Falcons pitcher was able to strike out pinch hitter Gracie Poe to end the AUM threat.
- Two more runs came across to score in the sixth inning as Montevallo's Sierra Easterwood lifted a ball into the left field seats to give the rival Falcons a 5-3 lead and the eventual win.

INSIDE THE BOXSCORE
- Three Warhawks netted a stolen base.
- Montevallo committed two errors while Haskins committed the only AUM mishap.
