SOFTBALL: Lobos fall in series finale with McMurry

On a blustery Saturday morning, the Sul Ross State softball team held a 4-2 lead over the McMurry University War Hawks.

McMurry ended up rallying back to take the series finale, 6-4, at the Lobo Softball Field.

>> HOW IT HAPPENED:

The Lobos got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the first as Vivian Jimenez got the third out with a rare putout from right field to first base.

Sul Ross State took a 3-0 lead in the bottom half of the first as Adriana Hernandez hit a two RBI single through the right side.

Ciera Avila later stole home during a first and third situation.

McMurry cut the deficit to one run when Sabrina Graf hit a two RBI single down the third base line in the top of the fourth.

The Lobos extended their lead to 4-2 when Toni Mishnick drove in Jimenez with a bunt to the third baseman during the bottom of the fifth.

On three hits in the top of the sixth, the War Hawks tied up the game as Graf hit a sacrifice fly to right to bring in a run and Reagan Staehely had a pinch-hit RBI double to left.

McMurry took the lead in the top of the seventh on three hits.
