PINEVILLE, La. - Southwestern softball once again led the majority of the game after posting one run in the top of the first, but a three-run sixth inning rally by East Texas Baptist ended the Pirate's phenomenal post season run. SU fell 3-1 to the Tigers just one game before the Regional Championship.

Aly Pulver and Blair Wallace each started the game off with singles and they were moved into scoring position by a well-executed sacrifice bunt by Katelyn Gola. With two outs Kaitlyn Pavlicek was able to drive in one run to give Southwestern an early 1-0 lead that would last through five and a half innings.

Southwestern was unable to extend their lead as they stranded seven runners throughout the game. ETBU slowly woke up as the game went on and commenced with a three-run sixth inning that proved to be the game winning inning for the Tigers.

The Pirates had seven hits and no errors to ETBU's five hits and one error. Wallace, Pavlicek and Bre Lewis all had multi-hit games.

Lyndsy Maus, who has been sensational on the mound all-tournament for Southwestern, garnered the loss. In seven innings she allowed five hits, three runs (earned) while walking one and striking out five.

Southwestern closes out their season with a 33-13 overall record. With just one senior, Katelyn Gola, graduating from this year's squad it bodes well for the future of Head Coach Angela Froboese's program.
