MARSHALL, Texas – The Concordia Softball team, facing sixth-ranked East Texas Baptist, were unable to grab a lead, losing both games of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.

In game one, the Tornados struggled against Tigers' pitching unable to get a runner on base.

ETBU, meanwhile, scored a pair of runs in the first two innings against Shelby Burrus and led 4-0 going into the third inning. Burrus would pitch into the fourth before Lauren Camacho came on in relief and ended the inning but not before the Tigers scored five runs to extend their lead to 9-0.

In the fifth, the Tornados were retired in order, ending the game on run rule, losing 9-0.

In game two, CTX tallied two hits, but could not score a run against ETBU.

The Tigers, meanwhile, scored in every inning and led 5-0 heading to the fourth inning. Emma Martino led off the fourth with a single, but one out later a double play ended the threat and the inning for the Tornados.

???????ETBU added a pair of runs in the fourth to make it 7-0. In the fifth, a Haley Dennett two-out single was not enough as the Tigers forced Ryan Gibson to pop out.

The Tigers pushed across another run in the bottom half of the fifth to end the game on run rule, taking the game 8-0.

CTX will close out the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. as the originally scheduled games were moved to Saturday and Sunday due to the rain on Friday night.
