Late Lead Slips Away In Towson's Extra Inning Setback To Penn

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Towson University softball team concluded its four-week road odyssey by falling 5-4 in eight innings to the University of Pennsylvania at Eddie Moore Field Sunday morning in the final game of the Under Armour Invitational.
 
How It Happened
  • Towson saw a 4-1 seventh inning lead evaporate.
  • The Tigers stranded the potential game-tying run on third base in the bottom of the eighth inning.
  • Penn turned three Towson seventh inning errors into a three-run rally to tie the game.
  • Holiday Cahill and Shelby Stracher led Towson's offense with a double each.
  • Also recording a hit for the Tigers were Kendyl Scott, Madison Wilson, Brook Miko and Caroline Reid.
  • Miko also scored two runs.
  • It took some time for the Tigers to get started as Penn nursed its 1-0 advantage until the bottom of the fifth inning.
  • Scott was safe on error and Miko crossed the plate to tie the game, 1-1.
  • The Tigers seemingly took control of the game when they scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.
  • Miko reached base safely on error which allowed Daria Edwards and Nicole Stockinger to score.
  • Stracher followed with a RBI double that extended Towson's lead to 4-1.
