SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Southern Utah softball team wrapped up a three-game road series with Sacramento State Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss to the Hornets.

The Thunderbirds scored first in the game on a sacrifice fly from Sarah Murphy that scored Makenzie Ball in the third inning.

The Hornets answered back in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI single to tie the game. They took the lead in the fourth on a solo shot from Suzy Brookshire.

Neither team would be able to put up any more runs as 2-1 was the final score.

Five Thunderbirds had hits in the game.

Kalei Watkins started in the circle for the Thunderbirds and pitched four innings, giving up just four hits and two runs. Samantha Guile pitched the rest of the way and allowed just one hit in two innings of work.

The Thunderbirds will hit the road once again next weekend as they take on the Idaho State Bengals in a road Big Sky series.
