Wildcats Battle Back for Extra-Inning Win and Split Against Barons

FORT VALLEY, Ga. – The young Wildcats showed their promise Wednesday afternoon by turning around a tough opening effort into - success. After a 17-5 first-game loss, Fort Valley State saw Kayla Brown scamper home following an errant throw in the home eighth for a 2-1 late-game softball victory over Brewton-Parker College.

After Tyanna Askew threw out the go-ahead Barons (9-25) run at home to end the top of the seventh to keep the game tied at 1-1, the Wildcats (11-15) and Brown stranded another go-head run in the visiting eighth at third base on a Tamani Owens diving center field catch to retire the side. Starting the home eighth inning on second base, Brown raced around third base and stepped on home easily as the Brewton-Parker infielder threw high to first and the ball flew past the first baseman to end the game.
 
In the opener, FVSU did not give up and pushed across two in the fourth and three in the fifth after trailing 16-0 3.5 innings in the book.

Askew threw out a runner at home to keep game two tied, 1-1, in the top of the 7th.
Brown continued her pitching success where she gave up only eight hits and an earned run over eight frames to improve to 8-2.
 
Buggs put together a 3-for-6 to lead the Wildcats hitters, including a run. Geter was the other multi-hit batter with a 2-for-3 opener with two RBI.
 
Crutchfield, Ashley Simmons-Blair, and Keteria Loney hits in game one, while Brown, Alera Buie and Owens added second-contest hits.
 
In the first inning of game two, Brown led off with a smash to second base, went to second on a passed ball, advanced to third on an Owens single and scored when Buggs singled past first base.
 
The FVSU lead, 1-0, held up until Brewton-Parker's Morgan Parris lofted a sac fly to left field to plate the tying run in the top of the sixth.
 
FVSU has a few days off until its athletic department celebrates Student-Athlete Day on Saturday afternoon, April 6, in a doubleheader against Voorhees College. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
