GOLDEN SUNS FALL IN SUPER REGIONAL OPENER TO MULERIDERS

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – The seventh-ranked Arkansas Tech Golden Suns softball team (49-10) went to extra innings against No. 15 Southern Arkansas (50-9), but fell in eight innings to the Muleriders 2-1 in the opening game of the best-of-three series Wednesday afternoon at the Chartwells Women's Sports Complex.
 
After falling behind 1-0 on a solo home run in the second, Jalissa Gum responded in the third inning with a line drive double to the left center field gap to score Alex Edinger from first, tying the game up 1-1.
 
Gum battled through four more shutout innings before Southern Arkansas hit a bloop single to left field to score a runner from second to provide the winning run in the top of the eighth.

The Suns threatened in the bottom of the eighth with runners on first and second, but a nice defensive play on a popup ended the Golden Suns threat.
