The Lady Senators fell in game two to Pearl River Community College, 3-1. With the split, the Lady Senators moved to 7-3 on the season. 

Game One: Walters State 7, Snead State 6

It seemed like it would be a rough start to the day for the Lady Senators against Snead State, down 6-2 heading to the bottom of the sixth.

However, Walters State mounted a late game comeback to steal the victory.

First, in the bottom of the sixth, Kaitlyn Harper made it 6-4 when she blasted a 2-run home run over the fence. Harper had two hits in the game, the other being a triple, and drove in three runs. 

Then, in the bottom of the seventh, Jessica Campbell singled and Tatum Dye doubled to put runners on second and third. Odom was next and tripled in both runs to tie the game. After Snead State got one out, Beach singled in Odom to win the game. 

It was the second walk-off the Lady Senators had this season against Snead State, the first coming in their first game of the season when Ashlyn Gaines hit a walk-off homer. 

Along with Harper and Odom at the plate, the Lady Senators got doubles from Dye and Kasey Bennett. 

In the circle, Adrienne Morrison got the start and pitched the entire game, striking out five in seven innings of work. She gave up six runs, three earned, on six hits. 

Game Two: Pearl River Community College 3, Walters State 1

In game two, the Lady Senators put up a fight but could not earn the Friday sweep. 

Pearl River scored two in the first to go up early before Walters State answered with a run in the fourth. Pearl River added one more in the sixth for the 2-run win. 

Campbell led the team with two hits in the game. The lone run of the game for the Lady Senators came when Bennett doubled home Odom, who bunted for a single to start the inning. 

In the circle, Allison Chandler got the start and threw six innings. Chandler gave up three runs, two earned, on seven hits while striking out two. Abigayle Holt pitched the final inning, a scoreless inning where she struck out one.
