Monmouth Drops 3–2 Extra-Inning Heartbreaker to Charleston

CHARLESTON, S.C.- Monmouth softball suffered a 3–2 loss to the Charleston in eight innings Sunday afternoon in the final game of CAA  opening weekend.

The Hawks opened the scoring in the top of the inning when Mackenzie Bloss hit a sacrifice fly to center field, allowing Dominique Lopez to score and give Monmouth an early lead. Both teams were then held scoreless through the fourth and fifth innings in another low-scoring battle.

Monmouth doubled its lead in the top of the sixth inning when Kaitlynn Place blasted a solo home run to make it 2–0.

Holding a 2–0 lead entering the seventh inning, Charleston rallied to tie the game. The Cougars got their first run of the day on a triple that brought a runner home to cut the deficit to one. Later in the inning, Sierra Paradis delivered an RBI single that scored Hallie Cannon, evening the score at 2–2.

Charleston eventually secured the 3–2 win in the eighth inning on a single through the left side of the field.
