The Lady Buffs softball team was defeated 9-1 and 8-5 by Tusculum College in a double header on Feb. 19.

In the first game, seniors Andrea Henriott and Carissa Ellis each went two for three at bat to create four of the seven team hits.

Sophomore pitcher Brandy Waddle had four strikeouts and one walk but gave up 13 hits and nine runs, six of which were earned. The team committed three errors.

In the second game, the team combined for four hits. Senior Ashley Fine went one for three with one RBI and sophomore Brooke Davis went one for two with three RBI. The team committed only one error. 

So far this season, eight of the team’s games have been postponed because of rain. 

“We still haven’t been on our own field [because of the rain],” coach Wes Holly said. “It's been tough.”

The team’s next home game is slated for Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. against Brevard. This begins a stretch of 10 conference games that will be played before spring break.
