Box Score GULF SHORES, Ala. – The Spring Hill College (SHC) softball team finished play in the 2017 NCAA DII Gulf Coast Invitational with a 4-2 loss to the Valdosta State University (VSU) Blazers at the Sportsplex on Sunday afternoon.
 
SHC broke on top 1-0 in the 1^st inning with a sacrifice fly to deep right by sophomore catcher Kali Clement that brought in Carmen Byrd all the way from 2^nd base, but VSU tied the game in the bottom of the 2^nd inning off a bases-loaded walk by shortstop Jessica Mohl.
 
The Blazers broke the game open with four runs in the 4^th inning when Mohr drove a 2-run triple into the corner of left field and was then brought home by a single to left by 3^rd baseman Chelsea Canara.
 
Spring Hill rallied for a run in the 7^th frame when centerfielder Jenna Charnock plated pinch hitter Katelyn Wilson with a 2-out single up the middle, but a fly out to center would end the Badger threat.
