Dawgs drop close game to Eagles

Freshman second baseman Savannah Fisher flips the ball to first baseman Shaye Harre for a force out at first on Sunday against Bradley University at Charlotte West Stadium. Fisher has played both infield and oufield as a utility player this season. "She's a kid that will be the first one here and the last one to leave," coach Kerri Blaylock said. "She wants to get better."

Sophomore second baseman Savannah Fisher, an Orlando native, sent a 2-0 pitch down the left field line for a three-run home run in the top of the fourth. The homer drew SIU within two of Florida Gulf Coast, but the Eagles would not be denied.
