Trevecca Nazarene University vs. Lee University

The No. 24 Trevecca softball team (23-11, 6-6) hosted No. 21 Lee University (23-11, 7-5) and dropped both games. Lee used several Trevecca miscues to claim an 8-2 victory and then won a hard fought 7-6 ten inning marathon in game two.

(Game One) -- Trevecca scored one in the bottom of the second inning to take the lead, but gave up five runs in the top of the third and would never threaten the lead again in game one. Trevecca added a run in the bottom of the fifth, but Lee again answered with two in the top of the sixth and another run in the top of the seventh. Wendy Allen relieved starter Holly Shane in the top of the third and took the loss. Jami Toomey homered for Trevecca, but that was overshadowed by Fannie Harr's two solo homers for Lee. Wendy Allen falls to 6-4 on the season, while Lee's Jamie Ensminger improved to 8-5 with the win.

(Game Two) -- Trevecca took the lead in game two with three runs in the bottom of the third. Lee replied with another five run inning in the top of the fifth inning. Trevecca tied the game with two runs in the bottom of sixth to eventually send the game to extra innings. Both teams scored a run in the eight inning. Lee scored another run in the top of the tenth and Trevecca couldn't respond to extend the game past the tenth. Hollie Shane took the loss for Trevecca and fell to 12-6 on the season. lee's Jessica Pike picked up the win and improved to 10-4 on the season.

Trevecca suffered an even worse loss as freshman starting shortstop Evyn Terry, after missing four games due to a knee injury, was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will be out for the rest of the season. Before her injury, Terry was tied for 16th in the TranSouth Conference with a .316 batting average with 14 RBIs and four triples. The Lady Trojans are also playing without starting third baseman sophomore Rone' Phelps who suffered a shoulder injury in the same game as Terry. It is not yet known when Phelps will be able to return.

Trevecca will host Judson College on Friday at 3:00 p.m.
