Lady Choctaws Drop Home Doubleheader to William Carey

CLINTON, Miss. --- The Mississippi College softball team played their home opener today against William Carey, but dropped both ends of a doubleheader on Thursday at the MC Softball Complex.

The Lady Choctaws (3-3) fell in the first game, 6-2, and went extra frames with the Lady Crusaders (3-1) in the second game, losing 6-4 in nine innings.

In the first game of the day, senior Shay Mickens doubled to lead off the first inning and came in to score on an RBI single by sophomore Megan Everett. Senior Macey Lee, who had four hits in the two games, also had an RBI single to score Ashley Subervielle and give MC a 2-0 lead after one inning.

After William Carey cut the lead to 2-1 with a run in the third, they jumped in front in the fourth with a four-run frame, highlighted by a two-run single from Chelsea Nette. They would add another run in the seventh to pick up the 6-2 victory.

Junior Carlie Sargent (2-1) took her first loss of the season, allowing six hits and three earned runs over 4.0 innings. Senior Elissa Kelly allowed just one unearned run over the final 3.0 innings for MC.

Hannah Moak pitched the final 6.0 innings for the Lady Crusaders, giving up just three hits and no runs.

In the second contest, the Lady Choctaws got another two-run first inning as senior Brooke Smitherman tallied a sacrifice fly, and Subervielle had an RBI single to put MC ahead 2-1 after one frame.

The Lady Crusaders tied the game in the second inning with a leadoff home run from Hannah Cook-Kelly and took a 3-2 lead in the fifth on an RBI single by Relanda McFarland.

MC answered in their half of the fifth, scoring two runs to take a 4-3 lead on an RBI fielder's choice by junior Kimmie Conley and a run-scoring groundout by Mickens.

In the sixth inning, senior Lacie Patterson was rolling right along in the circle, getting the first two outs before a walk to Nette. McFarland made the mistake pay off as her triple scored Nette and tied the game.

In the seventh inning, MC looked poised for a walk-off victory as they put a runner on third with one out. Brittany Lang was able to get out of the jam and send the game into extra innings for William Carey. She earned the victory, pitching all nine innings.

The teams went scoreless in the eighth inning, but the Lady Crusaders broke through with two runs in the ninth and MC could not answer.

The Lady Choctaws will be back in action this weekend, opening Gulf South Conference play at Christian Brothers on Saturday (DH at 1:00 pm) and Sunday (single game at 1:00 pm).
