Lady Bulldogs Fall to Austin Peay in Home Opener


HUNTSVILLE - Alabama A&M (0-3) fell 5-3 to Austin Peay State during Tuesday afternoon action at Bulldog Field.

Imani Largin led Alabama A&M at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a stolen base. Tamia-Lee Barbadillo was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Lauren Walker and Tiana Sanders each accounted for a RBI.

After a scoreless three innings, Alabama A&M fell behind after starter Rachel Sanders allowed a solo shot to Carly Mattson. The Lady Bulldogs tied the game when Danielle Hansell drew a walk and -- after a wild pitch allowed Hansell to move to second -- Walker brought her home with a base hit. However, the long ball paid dividends for the Lady Govs again as Danielle Liermann smacked a two-run shot in the next inning to push APSU ahead 3-1.

Alabama A&M drew closer in the fifth thanks to small ball. Pinch-runner Lavarsha Thigpen swapped in for Jessica Alferos after she reached on an error, and Largin dropped a bunt single that moved Thigpen to third. The duo executed a double steal and with it, Thigpen brought the Lady Bulldogs within one. However, AAMU stranded two runners in the inning and APSU tacked on two more runs late. Alabama A&M had a chance in the seventh, getting one run back but Largin was caught stealing, and Alexis Bates ended the game via pop-out.

Sanders received the loss, allowing nine hits and four earned runs while striking out six.

The Lady Bulldogs were slated to play the Lady Govs in double-header action, but game two was suspended due to darkness and will be resumed at Austin Peay State on a later date.
