PENSACOLA, Fla.– Missed opportunities plagued the West Alabama Softball team all day long as the Tigers came up short in both games of Saturday's Gulf South Conference doubleheader against the #2 West Florida Argonauts at the UWF Softball Complex as UWF won game one 6-5 and the second game 1-0.

West Alabama got on the board in the top of the 4th with a hard hit by Alli Craft that allowed Chrissy Tubbs to score from second. Kierra Hague came in to score on a passed ball to cut the lead to 6-2.

The team would end up leaving nine runners on base. West Alabama outhit the Argos nine to eight in the first game of the doubleheader.

Runners left on caught up to the Tigers once more as UWA stranded five runners on base in the second game. UWF left four on as well. The Argos out hit West Alabama 5-4 in the second game.
