<\/a>Taylor Bembery<\/strong> The Jackson State University Softball team broke a two game losing streak by beating the Mississippi Valley State Devilettes 8-0 at the JSU Softball Complex Friday, April 19 at 6 p.m, a part of their 3 game series.<\/p>\n The Lady Tigers had 12 hits to score eight runs. Breea Jamerson (P\/OF), a junior from Los Angeles, Calif., pitched the complete game for the win. In six innings she allowed only four hits. Jasmine Warren(P\/OF), a senior from Gainesville, Fla. and Lauren Aikens (INF), a junior from Columbia, Miss., each recorded three hits for JSU. Canessa Swanson (C), a freshman from Houston, Texas, followed with two hits.<\/p>\n With the win The Lady Tigers were in heaven by increasing their lead in the SWAC Eastern Division over MVSU. JSU and MSVU returned to the field on Saturday, April 20 at 12p.m. for the final games of the series.<\/p>\n JSU was defeated 4-0 in the first game and 4-1 in the second. MVSU\u2019s Alicia Lorenz pitched two complete games to earn two victories against the Lady Tigers. Dale Reese, assistant coach of the JSU softball team, shared how the team played and what things they could have done better.<\/p>\n \u201cWe could have made a few more adjustments at the plate, we hit the ball decently but with the wind blowing in, a lot of balls hung up. We lost a short stop in the middle of the game, we had to make an adjustment there, but we didn\u2019t let it affect us. Pitching was good during the game, but I think Warren got a little tired towards the 8th inning, but we kept hitting the ball and just couldn\u2019t get it to fall in our favor,\u201d said Reese<\/p>\n Offensively for the Lady Tigers, Warren, Felicia Wilson (INF), a senior from Peoria, Ariz., and Sabeana Romero (INF), a senior\u00a0 from Tucson, Ariz., each recorded two hits. Yasmine Battle (OF), led Valley with two hits and a run.<\/p>\n \u201cI think for the game our defense was on but our offense needed to make a few more adjustments to attest Lorenz because we did leave runners on, I think if we would have adjusted more we would have gotten some runs in,\u201d said Romero<\/p>\n Jamerson suffered the loss in the last game of the series. In seven innings of work she allowed four runs on seven hits. Lorenz pitched seven innings and gave up a run on six hits. The last two games of the series gave the Lady Tigers a taste of heaven and hell with one win and two losses of the series.<\/p>\n The Lady Tigers will go on to face Alabama State University in a 3 game series at the JSU Softball Complex, Friday, April 26 at 6 p.m. and a double header Saturday, April 27 at 12p.m. which is also Senior Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taylor Bembery Blue & White Flash \/ Variety Editor The Jackson State University Softball team broke a two game losing streak by beating the Mississippi…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"editor_plus_post_options":"{}","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
