LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga.—A tough conference slate for Agnes Scott Softball continued as the Scotties suffered two losses at the hands of Covenant College on an unseasonably cold Saturday afternoon. The Scots jumped on the Scotties early in game one with eight runs in the first two innings and never looked back on their way to a sweep.

The Scotties fall to 3-19 overall and 0-8 in the USA South this season. On the other side, Covenant improves to 17-17 and 6-6 respectively.

Game One

A pair of RBI knocks in the top of the first scored three of Covenant's runs in the frame, including a pair of doubles from the middle of the lineup.

The Scotties surrendered three walks in the bottom of the second inning and the Scots took advantage with four more runs on two hits. Pitcher Tyler Epes hit a bases-clearing double with two outs to deal extra damage to thoughts of a comeback.

Covenant tacked on another run in the fourth.

The Scotties were only outhit 6-4 for the game, but nine free bases issued by the visitors ultimately did them in in game one.

Game Two

The series finale proved to be a much closer affair as Agnes Scott battled back after giving up an early 3-0 lead. Covenant's Jada Allmon contributed RBI hits in the first and third innings to help the Scots to the three-run advantage.

Agnes Scott was unable to end its run drought until the sixth inning when the Scotties put two runs on the board off of three hits. Jordan Keesler (Trenton, Ga.) singled to lead off the inning and eventually scored on an RBI single through the hole on the right side of the infield from Cecilia Siegel (Plantation, Fla.). Caitlin Weaver (Jacksonville, Fla.) also had a sac fly to score ASC's second run.

Covenant was able to add to its lead in the bottom half of the sixth, while holding the Scotties scoreless in the seventh to preserve a 4-2 result.

Tiara White (Sinton, Texas) led the Scotties with two hits, while Allmon was the top hitter for the home team on the day.
