SVSU Falls 2-1 in 10 Innings at Florida Gulf Coast

FT. MYERS, Fla. - The Cardinals dropped a 2-1 decision in 10 innings on Thursday night from Florida Gulf Coast University. The teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader, but weather permitted the cancellation of the second game in the second inning. The game was a pitcher's duel as neither team scored through the first nine innings. The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead in the top half of the 10th inning. Tabitha Greenwood delivered a one-out single that scored Lorelea Rice who began on second due to the international tiebreaker rule. Florida Gulf Coast got the run right back in the home half of the 10th and then with two outs delivered a double with the game-winning run.
      The Cards spaced out seven hits while FGC had six hits. Karen Ray (Fenton, Mich./Lake Fenton) pitched the entire game and struck out 11 in a losing effort dropping the team to 3-4 overall. Rice led SVSU with two hits as five other players collected one hit. FGC smacked three doubles as SVSU recorded all singles.
