SHREVEPORT, La. – The Ladies were able to lead after the first inning of both games, but the Bulldogs rallied late for a 6-2 win in game and won the second game 9-1 in six innings as Centenary (15-21, 12-10 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) lost a Senior Day doubleheader to #15 Texas Lutheran (27-7, 21-1 SCAC) Friday afternoon, April 19.
In the first inning of game one, Teri Johnson led off the frame with a walk and scored on Cassie Gonzales' triple. Gillet reached on a fielder's choice that produced no outs and later scored on Erin Lewis' RBI double.
Meanwhile, Amberlee Nix allowed only two hits in the first five innings of work, but two double plays erased both hits. Nix retired the first 15 Bulldogs in order.
However, Texas Lutheran tied the game in the sixth. After an infield single, Cassie Roche homered to center field to tie the game. Kelly Jurden and Casey Martin both singled to put the go-ahead run in scoring position. After a double steal, a groundout plated the go-ahead run.
