Trailing 2-0, Shawnee State scored three runs in the sixth to eliminate Georgetown College from the Mid-South Conference Tournament. With the win, Shawnee State advances to day two of the tournament to face rival Rio Grande at 11:30 a.m. in Danville, KY.

The Tigers scored two runs in the bottom of the first to take the early lead.

After giving up three hits in the first, freshman Allie Chapman (Chesapeake, OH) settled down and held the Tigers to only one hit the remainder of the game.

The Bears took advantage of Chapman's excellence and had a big sixth inning. Shawnee State led off the inning with back-to-back doubles by senior Jourdan Priddy (Xenia, OH) and freshman Katy Bender (Canal Winchester, OH) to get on the board. A base hit by junior Ericka Leighty (South Point, OH) put runners on the corners. A stolen base by Leighty put two runners in scoring position. With two outs, sophomore Brittany Ellis (Lucasville, OH) hit her third double of the game, scoring both runners and giving Shawnee the eventual 3-2 win.

Ellis finished the game 3-for-3 at the plate, while Bender went 2-for-4.

Chapman pitched the complete game allowing two runs on four hits with two strikeouts.

Michelle Dresselhaus was tagged with the loss for the Tigers.
