CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Lindenwood softball (24-19, 12-9 OVC) dropped their final game against the Redhawks of Southeast Missouri State (21-21, 15-6 OVC) by a final score of 1-0. Over the course of three games this weekend, the Lions were held without a run.

Despite the loss for Lindenwood, both pitchers put up good numbers. Amanda Weyh (ND) started the game for the Lions and finished with 5.0 innings pitched allowing just five hits and striking out six.

SEMO had an opportunity to score in the first inning with runners on second and third, but Weyh was able to get out of the inning with a line-out back to herself. She would also pick up three of her six strikeouts in the second inning.

In the top of the third, Lindenwood had two runners on with one out when Honchar singled up the middle. The Redhawks defense was able to throw out Dallis Darnell at home plate then get Gersch trying to advance ending the rally from the Lions.

After six scoreless innings, the Redhawks were able to get back-to-back singles in the bottom of the seventh inning. With one out, Brittany Affolter laid down a bunt that was fielded by Wapp, but she threw it out of the reach of Tori Hatton at first base leading to the only run of the game. Wapp received the loss for Lindenwood on Sunday.

The Lions will return to Lou Brock Sports Complex on Saturday, April 27th as they start their final home stand against UT Martin. For more information on Lindenwood softball, go to lindenwoodlions.com.
