LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Three runs by the Valdosta State Lady Blazers to break a 5-5 tie proved to be the difference as the West Alabama Tigers dropped their Sunday afternoon Gulf South Conference contest, 8-5, in the UWA Softball Complex.

However, the Tigers responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning when Chelsea Lobitios recorded her first RBI of the season to bring in Kendall Johnson. Haylie Best followed that up with a two-out single to right field to bring in Lobitos and Audrey Diekmann to go up 3-2.
 
VSU responded with a triple in the top of the third to score Mohl and then in the fourth Heather Robinson hit a solo shot to left field, her second of the year, to put the Lady Blazers back up 4-3.
 
Diekmann responded in the bottom of the same inning with a homer of her own sending her third of the year over the wall for 2 RBIs to bring in Olivia Dunlap who was pinch running. UWA went up 5-3.
 
A solo home run by Taylor Hartenbach tied the game in the fifth and from there VSU scored the finally three runs in the sixth to grab the win.
