Lady Tigers Fall To Jackson State In Makeup Series Finale

Grambling dropped game three of the series to fall to 7-7 in SWAC play.

Jackson, Miss | Grambling State (10-15, 7-7 SWAC) held Jackson State (15-21, 12-6 SWAC) scoreless for three innings before falling 3-1 in the makeup series finale Wednesday afternoon at the JSU Softball Field. 

Payton Shells (5-4) and Kayla Owens (7-9) battled in a pitchers' duel, allowing only eleven hits combined. 

Grambling had a chance to answer in the top of the seventh as Kaylee Nettles was hit by pitch. Dacia Richard subbed in to pinch hit for Fayth McQueary and singled to left field. Sherrell Matthews also pinched hit for Kayla Robinson, but the result was a strikeout. Rodjahnae Dupont-Barlow hit a sac RBI. Back to the top of the lineup, India Wells had a strong at bat, but the rally at the plate was a strikeout which secured the win for Jackson State. 

"Up until the sixth inning it was a pitchers' duel," head coach Nakeya Hall said. "We waited too late to make the adjustments at the plate, but overall we played a pretty good game. We have to reset and focus on the conference series with Prairie View."
