Lady Braves falls behind in sixth inning in 5-4 loss to Alabama A&M University

Alcorn State, MS--The Lady Braves lost the ballgame after losing the lead in the sixth inning Sunday, as Alabama A&M University grabbed a 5-4 victory in seven innings at Alcorn State.

Brittanee Crayton had a sound game at the plate for Alcorn State. Crayton went 3-4 and scored two runs. She singled in the second, sixth, and seventh innings.

Anisa Britt got it done on the rubber on the way to a win. She allowed four runs over seven innings. The Alabama A&M University pitcher struck out three, walked four and surrendered eight hits.

Alabama A&M University was sparked by Brianna Ziegler and Britt, who teamed up for six hits and two RBIs.

The top of the first saw Alabama A&M University take an early lead, 1-0. Ziegler singled to ignite Alabama A&M University's offense. A stolen base then moved Ziegler from first to second. Then a fielder's choice scored Ziegler.

The game's last lead went to Alabama A&M University thanks to a sixth inning rally that saw four runs cross the plate on an error, a sacrifice fly by Shaquille Morris, and two singles.

One run in the bottom of the seventh helped the Lady Braves close their deficit to 5-4. An RBI single by Chamara Moore triggered the Alcorn State's comeback. But, Britt got Melissa Rubio to strike out to end the game.
