NACOGDOCHES — Two late home runs proved to be the difference as Sam Houston dropped the finale of a Western Athletic Conference series to Stephen F. Austin 10-6 on Saturday.
Â
The Bearkats fell to 4-8 in league play and 10-27 overall while the Ladyjacks improved to 10-2 and 18-16.
Â
Sam Houston got behind early when the Ladyjacks scored four runs in the second inning on three hits and an error.
Â
The Bearkats answered with two runs in the third when Ellie Grill hit a one-out triple and came around to score on an RBI groundout by Sheridan Fisher. Back-to-back singles by Kyndal Kutac and Elia Hebel set up an RBI double by Kylie Hobbs.
Â
After SFA got a run back in the bottom of the third, Sam Houston took the lead in fourth.
Â
Taylor Bachmeyer and Hannah Scheaffer both singled with one out then Grill singled and all three came around to score thanks to a throwing error that made it all the way to the left field corner.
Â
The Bearkats took the lead when Tricia Yarotsky ripped an RBI double to left center field, but SFA hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth and a three-run shot in the sixth to comeback to win.
