DECATUR, Ala.—The Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs lost two heartbreakers Friday in the Gulf South Conference Crossover at Wilson Morgan Park, falling 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh to West Georgia and dropping a 1-0 decision to West Alabama in the nightcap.

In the opener, the Lady Bucs (12-14, 2-10) struck first with a three-run top of the third.  Victoria Mathews (Arlington, Texas/Mansfield Timberview HS) started the inning with a one-out single, and Jessica Ambers (Collierville, Tenn./Collierville HS) followed with another single.  After Casey King (Flower Mound, Texas/Flower Mound HS) laid down a sacrifice bunt, Alyse Brewer (Florence, Ala./Florence HS) hit a two-run single to right-center.  Brewer moved up on an error, and she scored on a passed ball with two out.

The Wolves (20-18, 4-6) shaved a run off the lead in the fourth inning with a pair of singles, but the crushing blow came in the bottom of the seventh.  After a pair of singles, a one-out Paige Hanson sacrifice fly cut the lead to 3-2.  Candice Brown hit a single to right-center, and Kim Weaver's two-run double ended the game.

King went 2-for-3 in the first game for the Lady Bucs, who collected eight hits.  Nikki Dunn (Southaven, Miss./Southaven HS) allowed four runs, all earned, on seven hits and two walks.  She struck out five batters in six and two-third innings.

In the nightcap, a first-inning homer from Lauren Mills proved to be the difference, providing the only run in a 1-0 West Alabama (31-7, 5-5) victory.  Dunn (10-7) was brilliant the rest of the way, allowing just the one run on four hits as she struck out eight.

Mathews went 2-for-4 with a double as she reached base safely three times.

The Lady Bucs will return to action Saturday.  They face North Alabama at noon before facing No. 2 Alabama-Huntsville at 2 p.m.
