Poulich Homers, Drives in Four in Towson Softball Narrow Defeat vs. George Mason

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University softball team had an early lead in its Wednesday afternoon game against George Mason, nearly coming back with a three-run home run from Chloe Poulich, but just came up short in a 6-4 defeat.
 
Towson (12-23) pieced together a Mackenzie Lake double and Chloe Poulich triple to take a first inning lead vs. George Mason (18-15) and kept the advantage through the first three frames.  The Patriots scored six runs in the final four innings.  Towson tried to come back on Poulich's three-run blast but could not bridge the final gap.

  • Towson starting pitcher Madeline Harris (0-4) got the loss on the circle, going four innings with three runs, all in the fourth inning, striking out four.
  • Haley Taormina was George Mason's top hitter, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two runs scored.  Jordan Anderson (1-0) got the victory, pitching five innings with a run allowed.  Madi Williams picked up the save with the final two innings thrown, having three runs and two strikeouts.
How It Happened:

Pitcher Madeline Harris escaped the jam when she struck out Haley Taormina.  In the Tigers' half of the first, they scored a run with two outs. Mackenzie Lake doubled. Moments later, a triple by Chloe Poulich drove her in. Cori Jones was retired on a fly ball to end the rally.
  • After being shut out for three innings, the Patriots rallied for three runs. Haley Taormina led off with a double and stole third base. She scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Rachel Warrens. Nicole Bechtel doubled to put the go-ahead run on second base. Harris struck out Jordan Anderson for the second out. But, Sydney Bales smashed a 3-2 pitch over the centerfield fence for her first home run of the season and a 3-1 lead for George Mason.
  • After a scoreless fifth, George Mason added insurance with a pair of top-of-the-sixth doubles for a run, then in the seventh, the Patriots hit a two-out solo home run by Taormina, then following a Warrens double, Bechtel singled to right to allow Warrens to score.  George Mason led 6-1 going into the bottom of the seventh.
  • Nicole Kidwiler and Briana Ramirez hit back-to-back one-out singles to got on base.  Two batters later, Poulich sent a ball over the center field fence for a three-run home run to pull Towson within two, but the Tigers did not get closer and fell 6-4.
