Dropped Eight Southern extends their losing streak

The streak lives on for the Southern University softball team but unlike a winning streak, the Lady Jaguars plummets with eight straight non-conference losses when facing Louisiana Tech.
Louisiana Tech (13-3) captures an 11-3 victory over Southern and left them with no reprieve in later gameplay.
Southern (3-8) was outhit 9-5 and as Tech paraded around the bases in the early innings and stretched in Tech’s last inning.
Tech exploded out of the bullpen with 3 runs to bruise the scoreboard in early gameplay. Morgan Turkoly singled to send two of her teammates, Kristen Miles and Anna Cross to score an RBI and then Turkoly scaled to home base as well.
The Lady Jaguars began to slightly loosen the gap when junior outfielder, Syndey Andrews was the only one to capture a run after sophomore catcher, Kiara Suttles cracked a double down left feild.
Doubling up on runs in the next inning, Tech with two runs on two hits when Karlee Jensen sent the ball across the fence and led herself and Berkley Calapp down the to home base.
Tech led 5-1 before gaining the earliest advantage and score another run after two scoreless innings by both teams.
Cross slammed a homer across the plate before the marvel of the sixth inning by Tech.
In the top of the sixth became the above all to end all when 5 runs was scored by Tech. Lindsey Neyland was the first to scale the bases after a throwing error by Southern in which Turkoly also came through to score her first run of the game. Edging on third base, Courtney Lowe had little to no choice but to score the unearned run. Batters after batter came through and a successful double curbed Krysta Tutch to score a run. Jensen was the last run to achieve an 11-1 edge before the ending of the matchup.
Suttles in the last inning showed why she received Southwestern Athletic Conference hitter of the week a couple of weeks ago because she sent another homer across the fence and softly scaled along the field with senior infielder, Alicias Barajas.
To no avail, Southern still fell 11-3 in another non-conference matchup.
Southern in the future has to travel to Thibodaux to face Nicholls State in another stacked non-conference matchup and won’t face a SWAC opponent until Alcorn in March 18 in Lorman, Mississippi.
The Lady Jaguars will have some traveling to do but a victory will have to be in reach.
