MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The Anderson University softball team wrapped up its four-game game road swing by dropping a doubleheader, 9-3 and 6-0, to Georgia College, Saturday afternoon at the Bobcats' Peeler Complex.

Anderson slipped to 4-2 on the young season, while suffering its first sweep since falling twice to Lenoir-Rhyne at home last March. Georgia College improved to 4-2 on the season.

Game #1
Georgia College 9, Anderson 3
Senior Jessica Neidigh was 2-for-3 in the opener and added a walk, while ripping a double and an RBI-triple. Molly Child, Carli Hurtado, Bri Cason and Rebecca Martin each added singles for the Trojans.

Freshman hurler Chelsea Jones (1-1) absorbed the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits over two innings. She struck out one Bobcat hitter. Sophomore right-hander Augie Pena surrendered six earned runs on six hits in four innings of relief in the circle. The Geneva, Ala., native struck out three and walked two.

The host Bobcats posted three runs in the bottom of the second inning and added two more in the third to take a 5-0 lead, while putting the game out of reach with four runs in the fourth inning.

The Trojan bats woke up in the top of the fifth, as Cason led off the inning with a single to right-center and scored one out later on Neidigh's triple to right field. Neidigh crossed the plate when Child followed with a run-scoring infield single.

AU added its final run in the top of the seventh inning when Martin struck out but reached when the pitch got away from the catcher. She scored on Neidigh's opposite-field double to left.

Game #2
Georgia College 6, Anderson 0
Junior center fielder Molly Child notched a sixth-inning double, while Jones added a single and a walk in three trips to the plate.

Sophomore pitcher Lauren Rudesheim (1-1) took the loss after surrendering six runs (one earned) over six innings, while issuing one walk.

The game was scoreless through four innings, as Rudesheim limited the Bobcats to just three singles over the first four frames. But the Trojan offense was unable to take advantage, as AU was held to just four hits over the seven innings.

Georgia College's Holland Coursey broke the scoreless tie by leading off the bottom of the fifth inning with a homer over the right-field fence and the Bobcats erupted for five more runs with two outs. Junior Taylor Campbell did the most damage with a three-run homer to left.

Anderson will look to get back in the win column when the Trojans open a four-game nonconference homestand with North Greenville on Wednesday. First-pitch from Smethers Field is set for 2 p.m.
