Hilltoppers fall to Southern Miss in extra innings

Western Kentucky's softball team lost 2-0 in 11 innings Sunday to Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, Miss.

In each of the four extra innings, both squads got the potential go-ahead run on board but each ended up stranded with the exception of the bottom of the 11th. Five of Southern Miss’ eight runners left on base came during extra innings, with a Golden Eagle moving into scoring position all three frames.

Southern Miss broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the 11th after a one-out single followed by Samantha Papp's home run to right-center field off WKU reliever Kelsey Aikey for the 2-0 victory.
