Falcons fall to Concord in road doubleheader

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2
ATHENS, W.Va -- Playing their second doubleheader in as many days, the Notre Dame College softball team continued its Mountain East Conference road trip against the Concord Mountain Lions on Monday afternoon. However, the Falcons fell short against the Mountain Lions, losing 7-2 in game one and 8-2 in game two.

GAME ONE
Concord 7, Notre Dame 2

The Mountain Lions, who came into Monday's doubleheader with a 20-8 overall record, scored early in game, plating three runs in the first and two in the second. After two innings, the Falcons trailed 5-0, but still had plenty of at-bats left in the game.

Mackenzie Wallace led the way offensively for NDC, hitting a one-out single in the top of the fourth. After Wallace advanced to second base via fielders choice, Anna Myers ripped a single to center field to score Wallace and give the Falcons their first run of the game. 

In the top of the sixth inning, Kelsey Coleman hit a one-out double to right field to spark the Falcons. Wallace then singled to put runners on the corner, and Coleman went on to score from third via fielders choice from Kayla Sidorski, who picked up the RBI.

However, that's all the offense the Falcons would muster as Concord took the win in game one, 7-2.

Wallace finished the game 2-for-3 with one run scored while Coleman finished 1-for-3 with one double and one run scored.

GAME TWO
Concord 8, Notre Dame 2

Game two of the Monday's doubleheader began with a different theme as the Falcons offense turned on in the first inning. 

Kelsey Coleman led off the game with a single, and Wallace followed up with a single of her own to put two Falcons on base with no outs. After both runners moved up one base via wild pitch, Kayla Sidorski grounded out to second base but allowed Coleman to score from third, giving NDC a 1-0 lead. That same play also allowed Wallace to advance to third, and she later scored on a ball hit to second base by Anna Myers, who picked up the RBI and gave NDC a 2-0 lead early.

However, the Falcons' lead didn't last as long as they would have liked.

In the bottom of the first inning, the Mountain Lions responded with a four-run rally to take a 4-2 lead over the Falcons through one. From there, the Falcons offense struggled to come to life again and the Falcons fell in game two by a final score of 8-2.

Coleman finished the game going 2-for-3 with one run scored for NDC.
