Mercer Falls to Loyola and FSU
Tallahassee, FL. – The Mercer softball team falls in both games of their season opener to Loyola Chicago and Florida State University.Â
Â
Game One: Loyola 6, Mercer 5

Laudino would score off a homer to left field by Diamond Williams, giving the Bears an early lead of two. Kenlie Harvey would walk, and Annie Potter hit a single to shortstop before the end of the first inning.Â
Â
The Bears extended their lead in the bottom of the second with a two RBI from Adele Braun, allowing Williams and Alyssa Woods to run. Atira Mcgowan pinch ran for Tori Ash and ran home after Williams reached on an error by 2b.Â
Â
The Ramblers brought the game within two in the top of the fourth, 5-3. A single to left field allowed the runner on third base to advance home, putting the Ramblers on the board. The next two Rambler points would come from a fielder's choice to pitcher and a single bunt to the pitcher.
Â
The Bears remained in the lead until a double and error by center field allowed the Ramblers to tie the game in the top of the seventh.Â
Â
The game would continue for three extra innings, ending in a Rambler win after scoring in the top of the 10th, 6-5.Â
