The Lindenwood softball team was tripped up by Spring Hill Saturday afternoon in Mobile, Ala. The Lady Badgers defeated the Lady Lions 5-3 in game one, and squeezed out a 2-1 win in extra innings in game two.

Spring Hill erupted for four runs in its half of the second inning to jump on Lindenwood early in game one. The Lady Lions got on the scoreboard in the fourth when Bailee Winkler coaxed a bases-loaded walk out of Spring Hill pitcher Sam Brooks. The Lady Badgers tacked on another run in the fifth to push the lead back to four.

Lindenwood picked up two more runs in the sixth off a Miranda Schlosser RBI single and a Winkler run-producing groundout, but the Lady Lions failed to keep the inning alive after Sophie Berman struck out with a runner on third base.

Rebecca Peddicord took the loss, surrendering all five runs on six hits. She walked two and struck out one. Schlosser posted a pair of hits to lead the Lady Lions at the plate and Winkler added two RBIs.

Game two was a pitcher's dual between Lindenwood's Aubrey Moss and Spring Hill's Brittany Abate.

A Lady Badgers' sacriface fly broke a scoreless tie in the third inning, and the score would remain that way until Lindenwood's top half of the seventh. Down to their final out, the Lady Lions rallied. Caitlin Diesen's RBI single evened the game at one, and Moss retired the side in order in the bottom half of the frame to send the game into extra innings.

The Lady Lions squandered a chance to go ahead in the top of the eighth after failing to advance Samantha Van Pelt beyond second base. It only took Spring Hill two at-bats to plate its runner from second base. Spring Hill's Haley Brown laid down a suicide squeeze to plate the winning run and complete the sweep.

Moss took the loss, scattering nine hits over 7.1 innings while striking out seven. The Lady Lions managed just five hits and stranded seven runners in the contest.

Lindenwood (12-12, 6-2) will return to action tomorrow against No. 25 Mobile.
