Lady Panthers strike out in U of H double header
to capture its second straight SWAC Western Division series in thrilling fashion as they thwarted a last-inning Grambling State rally for a 4-3 win. The Lady Panthers scored in the first inning for the sixth straight game as freshman Peyton Simms hit a leadoff triple and scored on Alisa Navarro's sacrifice fly.
However, GSU answered in the bottom of the first and took a 2-1 lead after a pair of sacrifices. PV tied the contest at 2-all in the second on Simms' RBI which scored Lexus Walker. The Lady Panthers moved ahead 3-2 one inning later as Navarro hit a leadoff double and scored on Brenecia Woods' sacrifice fly.
Prairie View A&M had several chances to extend its lead over the next few innings, but failed to cross home the needed insurance run as they led by a razor thin 3-2 margin.
With one out in the seventh, PV finally picked up a big run as Woods doubled and upped the score to 4-2 after scoring on Leanna Flores' RBI single.
In the bottom of the seventh, Grambling refused to go down quietly as they led the inning off with a single and eventually loaded the bases with only one out.
With the bases loaded, PV pitcher Cally Falls came up with a big bases-loaded strikeout but GSU answered with a two-out single to draw within 4-3.
However, Falls and the PV defense buckled down as she forced a game-ending grounder to third to seal the win.
Freshman Tiffany Robertson and Flores led PV with a pair of hits while Falls improved to 9-6 on the season.
The Lady Panthers return to action on Tuesday as they'll travel to UH-Victoria for a 1 p.m. doubleheader at the Victoria Youth Sports Complex.
