Lions ReviewÂ
The Lions lost to the Evangels 4-2 in game one of the doubleheader. The SAGU Lady Lions failed to score a run despite getting twice as many hits as MACU did during the game.Â
The Lady Lions' Sasha Jennings managed to steal a base, but that was the only significant offensive play for the SAGU squad on the trip.
The Lady Lions' hitting display in game two was dynamic and well-balanced. Eight different SAGU players contributed hits to the evenly distributed onslaught. Three players were successful in turning their hits into RBIs: Trista Ford, Candence Hopgood (3), and Madyson Wiggins. The Lady Lion's most outstanding hitter, Candence Hopgood, had three hits in her three at-bats.Â
A big hit by Airiana Magdaleno also allowed her to run all the way to third base.
