The Georgia Southern women’s softball team fell to an overall record of 4-3 after a close 4-5 loss to the Mercer Bears Wednesday night.
Mercer was the first to put up a run over GS as they scored in the second inning, then the third. The Eagles were finally on the board in the fifth inning and took the lead after junior outfielder Shelby Wilson hit a homerun, allowing senior infielder Logan Harrell and freshman first and third baseman Faith Shirley to find home place and put the game score at 3-2.
Mercer retook the lead in the bottom of the fifth by scoring two runs.
