    Final Stats

    An error by shortstop Jessica Tullos in the bottom of the seventh inning Sunday allowed two unearned runs to score and gave Nicholls State (13-24, 8-10) a 5-4 win in the third game of a three game series with the SFA Ladyjacks (12-21, 4-14).

    Both teams scored three runs in the second inning and the scored remained tied 3-3 until the top of the fifth inning when SFA scored a run to take a 4-3 lead. Carrie Woydziak tripled to open the inning and eventually scored on a ground ball off the bat of Tara Hersey which was mishandled by the Colonels shortstop.

    Nicholls State entered the seventh trailing 4-3 and Nicole Carter struck out the first batter she faced before giving up a double to left field to Clouarte. Traci Moore then came on in relief and allowed a single to Harrell before getting a strikeout of a pinch hitter in the number two spot in the batting order. Nicholls State's third hitter then hit a ball to shortstop which was mishandled allowing the two runs to score.
