CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Opening up the team's final regular-season tournament in Clarksville, Tenn., the App State Softball team dropped two contests to the Bucknell Bison and the host school Austin Peay Governors. App State held early leads in both games but fell to Bucknell 5-3 after seeing the Bison go ahead in the sixth inning and saw a six-run fifth inning from Austin Peay after the Mountaineers led 3-0, which helped it take control before losing 11-3 in six innings.
The freshmen quartet of Leah Gore, Grace Taylor, Julia Girk and Madison McIntyre shined on Friday as Gore struck for three hits and McIntyre hit a home run.
