MONROE, La. — The Sam Houston softball team came up short in 4-2 eight inning loss to Northwestern State on Friday at ULM Softball Complex.
The Demons brought in three runs in the eighth inning to claim the victory. The Kats (3-7) were only able to bring home Haleigh Carter on a ground out to first in the extra frame.
Amy Abke kept the game scoreless until the sixth inning when the Demons hit back-to-back doubles to even the score at 1-1.
The first run for the Bearkats was put on the board by an RBI double off the bat of Kylie Hobbs to right field. Sam Houston had a chance to do damage in the sixth with the bases loaded but failed to get a rally going.
The Bearkats will continue in the Best on the Bayou Classic tomorrow as they face Northwestern State at 9 a.m. and Evansville at 2.
