Josselet Goes Yard in Bears’ Loss at Georgia Tech

Mercer drops mid-week contest to Yellow Jackets, 4-1
ATLANTA – Catie Josselet reached base twice and hit her first collegiate home run in Mercer's 4-1 nonconference loss to Georgia Tech at Shirley Clements Mewborn Field on Wednesday.
Â
The Bears (10-16) were unable to muster a consistent offensive attack despite Josselet's strong individual performance at the plate. Georgia Tech's (16-10) limited Mercer to one hit over the first six innings, Josselet's home run.
Â
Mercer's best threat at the plate came in the top of the seventh inning, trailing 4-1. Danielle Castleberry and Allie Jones tallied consecutive singles to lead off the inning before Abby Walsh was later hit by a pitch with one out. Despite loading the bases, Mercer was unable to get any runs across in the final inning.
Â
The Yellow Jackets plated one run in each of the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. Mercer struck back in the third inning with Josselet's solo home run to left field. A two-run third inning for Georgia Tech would extend its lead to 4-1.
Â
Mercer starting pitcher Stella Preston tied a season-best with four innings pitched. Preston scattered seven hits and struck out three batters while issuing just one walk. She was relieved by Lynn Gardner in the fifth frame; Gardner allowed just one hit to Georgia Tech over the fifth and sixth innings.
Â
Notables
» Catie Josselet's home run was the first of her career.
» Allie Jones extended her reached base streak to 10 games.
