WASHINGTON - The George Washington softball team dropped the finale of a three-game Atlantic 10 series with Saint Louis on Saturday afternoon at the GW Softball Field on the Mount Vernon Campus.
The Colonials (21-9, 4-8 A-10) received solo home runs from rookies Priscilla Martinez and Jenna Cone, but that was not enough as the Billikens took the rubber game, 5-2.
Martinez gave GW a 1-0 lead in the second with a solo shot to deep left center, but Saint Louis tied the game at 1-1 in the next frame.
One run in the fifth and two more in the sixth put Saint Louis ahead, 4-1. Cone smacked her school-record 17th round-tripper in the bottom of the sixth down the left field line to cut the deficit to 4-2.
The Billikens added an insurance run in the seventh and prevented a last-inning rally by the Colonials to take a 5-2 win.
The Colonials return to action on Wednesday for a mid-week Revolutionary Rivalry battle with George Mason at the GW Softball Field.
