ARLINGTON, Texas - A seventh-inning rally from Georgia Southern softball fell short as UT Arlington claimed a 4-2 Sun Belt Conference softball victory over the visiting Eagles on Sunday afternoon in Arlington.
The Mavericks (16-14, 6-3 SBC) take the series from the Eagles (16-14, 3-6 SBC) by a 2-1 margin for a second straight season. Georgia Southern will now face a stretch of four straight games against nationally-ranked opponents, starting Wednesday when the Eagles travel to No. 12 Georgia for a 6 p.m. matchup in Athens.
"This was another really hard-fought game," Georgia Southern Head Softball Coach Kim Dean said.
