The mojo that Campbellsville found against Georgetown went missing later against Lindsey Wilson and the Tigers were bumped into the loser's bracket of the Mid-South Conference Softball Tournament on Friday at Millennium Park in Danville, Ky.

The Tigers were nearly flawless in a 9-0 win over Georgetown, but could not recover from a 4-2 deficit  in the second inning against Lindsey and lost in run-rule fashion, 11-3.



The Tigers managed to tie the Blue Raiders 2-2 in the top of the second inning, but then the club from Columbia outscored CU 9-1 the rest of the way to take a stranglehold on a potential title.

Campbellsville will play the winner of a St. Catharine-Georgetown game at 11:00 Saturday and the winner of that game will have to beat Lindsey twice to steal the tournament championship.

Against Lindsey, Campbellsville got all its hits in the first two innings, scoring two runs on a single by Emma Napier. The Tigers got another run in the third when there was an error on Morgan Bullock's grounder with Allison Horton and Kacie Vincent aboard.

Whatever chance the Tigers had was erased when they left five runners stranded in the first three innings and seven all told.

Lindsey scored in every inning against losing pitcher Cassidy Kroeker. The senior right-hander gave up 12 hits and her teammates committed three errors behind her. It was a walk and two errors in the bottom of the fifth that led to a bases clearing single by LW's Jordan Gilland and the game-ending runs.

Napier, Vincent and Jordan Cornett had singles and Jennifer England a double.

Lindsey's Anyibell Ramirez pitched a four-hitter and fanned six Tigers.

Against Georgetown, Campbellsville  scored five runs in the third inning with two outs to jump ahead of Georgetown College in the second round of the Mid-South Conference Tournament. A trio of home runs in the inning helped the Lady Tigers shut out Georgetown, 8-0.

With two outs in the third, Napier sparked CU's offense with a solo homer, followed by a Cornett single and two-run shot by Bailey Dillender. England than singled and scored on a two-run home run by Alex Jane Clemmons.

Horton recorded the shutout win on six hits and three walks. She had two strikeouts and stranded nine Georgetown runners.

Things did get a bit untidy for her in the fourth and sixth innings when she stranded three runners in each frame. Her second strike out was Mallory Johnson in the fourth inning, with the bases loaded, and she received aid from her defense most of the game, especially to get out of the sixth inning when she coaxed a fly ball and a grounder to second to douse GU's rally.

Dillender, who was announced Thursday night as the MSC Player of the Year, also had a two-RBI double in the fourth that scored Katelyn Daniels and Napier. Vincent drove in Nicole Bohanan for the last Lady Tiger run in the seventh. Bohanan was courtesy running for Horton, who singled to start the inning.

Dillender, England and Clemmons each had two hits in the game. Jordan Corentt also had a single.

"Nothing is really comfortable with Georgetown, because a lot of these kids play together in the summer and they know each other," CU head coach Shannon Wathen said of the five-run, two-out inning. "Anytime you play Georgetown you're going to get their best shot. It's always a high energy game. We hit the ball hard against Georgetown, even when we've lost we just had a problem putting hits together, but that wasn't the case today."
