Lions take the series final 2-0 to take atleast one game of the SSC series at Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. – No. 19 Saint Leo softball split its final road series doubleheader at Tampa after falling in game one Saturday 1-0 and taking game two 2-0. The Lions dropped the final SSC road series 1-2 but managed to salvage the series finale.
 
Saint Leo (32-12, 16-11 SSC) used three pitchers Saturday where Sara Neuman got the start and win in game two where Auria Mounts got the start in game one. Alison Mitts came in for relief and took the loss after going 3.2 innings in game one. Mounts tossed 3.0 innings to start game one.
 
Neuman led the Lions staff with strikeouts with five in her seven inning complete game shutout.
 
From the plate, Brittany Creamer led the pack with a .500 batting average going 3-for-6. Kacie Kelly and Sarah Pauscher drove in the lone two runs on the day where Ashley Morris and Bailey Burk scored the runs.

Both the Spartans and Lions played six scoreless innings before a final run in the bottom of the seventh allowed Tampa to walk off for the win. A single to the pitcher allowed the winning run to cross the plate.
 
The Lions recorded six hits where the Green and Gold left five runners on base. Tampa was held to five hits and stranded five runners as well.
 
Game Two - #19 Saint Leo 2, Tampa 0
After three scoreless innings, Saint Leo got on the board for the first time on the weekend in the fourth inning before scoring another run in the fifth inning.
 
Sarah Pauscher singled to right center to score Ashley Morris to put the Lions ahead 1-0. Kacie Kelly laid down a bunt single to score Bailey Burk, pushing the Green and Gold lead to 2-0.
